125 gr Remington SJHP Titegroup 357 mag

I just bought 500 .357 125 gr Remington sjhp bullets for my 4" SS Ruger GP-100. I was looking up load data and am only finding info for the Hornady XTP. It is listed on the Hodgdon Website as follows (below), as well as in Lee's Modern reloading. Titegroup is not listed in Lee's Modern Reloading 125 gr jacketed section at all (only in his XTP section). I also looked through my caliber specific manual with no luck finding Titegroup for 125 gr jacketed bullets. I read in Lee's book that the XTP is longer due to it's hp and that load data differs for the XTP as compared to regular jacketed bullets. Below is the load info from Hodgdon's website. Has anybody had any experience with Titegroup and 125 gr jacketed bullets? Do you think this info would work with Remington 125 gr sjhp bullets for 357 mag? Does Remington put out a load manual? It seems like they would since they have so many components, but I can't recall reading about it anywhere.

125 GR. HDY XTP
Titegroup .357" 1.590"
start load 6.8 1425 36,500 CUP
max load 7.5 1497 41,200 CUP

if worried about bullet depth back off another 10-15% & start, i feel pretty confident saying i think 5gr would be slippin along about 1000 fps.

Used about 3k 125 grain jhp rem. heads with 7grains Titegroup in my SP101. Accurate and clean. I think max is 7.5. Use Hodgden's on line data without any worries..

Thanks for the replies, not many people offered their opinions on this post. I called them and Dave said he would recommend what they have for the XTP.
