  I don't have any info on it specifically, but if you used 150 gr data and bumped the start and max charges down a few grains you should be fine.
  
  For a 98 action I use 48 gr of 4064 with a 185 gr bullet, also a hard one to find data on. This SHOULD be safe, but with the caveat that I don't know your gun, condition, etc.
  
  In general you can use data for HEAVIER bullets as it sits; lighter bullets you have to reduce. It's just that 150 is rather close.
  
  Again I provide this for reference only, if you use it, it's your choice.
