All powders are also listed for their heavier cast lead bullets from 150gr to even 214grains. I hope this can be of some help.
Everything helps, thanks.

I have been unable to find any 150gr bullets at a price I want to pay currently.
That's probably a very popular weight for hunting, and it's definitely on my list, although seems the heavier I go, the better my results.
