Best source for coated lead load data

Anyone know what the best source for coated lead load data is? I've got the hornady 9th edition, Sierra 5th edition and the newest Hodgon data. None of them have any load data for 147gr coated flat points that I picked up from The Blue Bullets. Specifically looking for load data for Clays ( not universal ), titegroup, and CFE Pistol. Just trying to make minor pf.

It's unlikely you will find any data specifically for coated bullets. Go with cast lead bullet data. For the 9mm 147 gr cast, Lyman manual shows 1.9 to 2.8 gr with Clays, and 2.5 to 2.8 gr with Titegroup. CFE223 powder not included with any cast bullet weights.

I purchased "black" coated bullets from Precision, about 1,000. I purchased some "green" bullets from Bayou Bullets, 200. I powder coated mebbe 1,200 bullets in 9mm, 38/357, 44, My 45 ACP, and a few in 7.62x54. I shoot them all with lead load data, and methods (sizing). No problems. Some use higher lead data, but I have no reason to...
 
You don't load according to whether or not a bullet is coated or not. You load for the weight. Like condor bravo says, it's just an odd looking cast bullet.
There's something terribly unnatural about coloured bullets. snicker.
