They are not the same they never were and there is clear load data for both.
Use the right data for the right powder as you always should.

cast can make a good practice rounds for CQ and shooting drills.. i get 11 inches of drop at 200 yards from a 100 zero. so not a good option for long shots.

when i first got my GP100 i was pushing the trigger sometimes..
