Go to Hodgdon's website here's the url:
http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp They do not have a load for that bullet, you will need to use the load for the 150 grain Nos Part. Jim Mrawesome22 the max charge for 160 grain in the hodgdon book is 61.00 grains for IMR 4831 and 62.5 grains for the 150 grain bullet. 64.0 grains might be a bit too hot, unless you are using IMR 7828.

When in doubt I always use the powder mfg's data, it's safer but Lyman is hard to pass up, I agree with most that the powder mfg's are being just toooooooo safe.
