Got any published load data for WST for 45 ACP and plated bullets

One caveat… I do not need to make major power factor, just want to plink with sufficient powder load to get clean non sooty cases using my 200 gr SWC plated bullets. Starting my project with plated X-tremendous bullets. Later, will buy some Missouri or Bayou coated bullets, probably 200 gr RN. Long range goal is to collect up the stuff: a mold or two, handle, lead, tin, etc., to roll my own…without breaking the bank.  I have the Lyman 25 furnace which I got….then pandemic hit. Still hope to get to casting my own.
