38 special 160 gr LRN unique powder

Seems that bullets for reloading are becoming as scarce as other components. I did find 160 gr LRN bullets from Black Bullets Int. but, I cannot find reload data for that weight. So, my question is can I just use data for 158gr LSWC?
My load would be 4.5 Gr. Unique under 160 gr.LRN

Thanks that would place my proposed load right in the center, which should work well.

I have found that the 160 grain Black Bullets
Are not all 160 grain

The weight can drop to 158 grain

Starting at the min load for 158 and working your way up is always suggested

Ending up in the middle between the low and high range should work well
