The information supplied is for the 180grn bullets designed to be used with the 303 British cartridge. Nowhere did it list a specific type, ie: Round Nose, Flatbased, Boattail Hollow Point, or cast.
(My recommendation if you use either IMR4064, IMR4895, or IMR3031 and are reloading using cast bullets would be to, reduce the load using the max load for those powders and multiple by .6 and then work the load up from there.)
IMR4064 40.7 x .6 = 24.42 grns starting load
IMR4895 41.6 x .6 = 24.9 grns starting load
IMR3031 38.8 x .6 = 23.28 grns starting load
