Get at least two manuals. Read em, cover to cover.
Suggest one of them be Lyman Reloading Handbook.
Winchester and Hodgon both have online data.

Also TFL member Steve Sricciardelli has a wealth of info at...

Speer #13 has many lead bullet loads, as well as CAS loads.

Watch though that you don't use hard cast lead bullet data for the softer swagged lead bullets.

Don't think there'd be a pressure problem, but you'll get leading to beat the band & accuracy will suck - usually.
