That's 'cuz they're chicken.
I'd have to try paper-patched bullets in it at least once, I really think it would do well. Water-quenched COWW with no extra tin, two wraps of cotton Vellum, smear it with a little Felix lube.... a mould something like this: http://accuratemolds.com/bullet_detail.php?bullet=34-196EB-D.png
You could pay for the mould in about 50 rounds.

Where would a guy even start with load data with this cartridge and cast?

Is she really?My wife is only a pharmacy tech, not a Pharmacist...
And those of us who have it can easily run data for you. Need case volume in gr of water, bullet length, your case length, and length of loaded round with bullet in question. Can easily run numerous powders and charges. QL also can list charges in increments in any range imaginable. Being able to see what happens when Unique is increased .5 gr at a time from say 15 to 25 gr. Shows expected peak pressure and predicted velocity.

Yup. We own 7% of the Pharmacy. She is a tech/owner.
You guys could probably talk shop all day long.

Easy, with paper-patched bullets:
1. Refer to copper-jacketed, lead core load data of similar bullet weight to your cast bullet.
2. Pick the slowest powder listed for that bullet, or nearly the slowest.
3. Start with the starting load data given, or back off a little below that and make it up with lightly-stuffed Dacron.
4. Once you get that established as safe and have your powder volume particulars in relation to the case body/shoulder junction, we can discuss how much to reduce the load for granulated poly buffer.
