Need help seeing if I can use what I already have. (44mag load)

I found a box of 500 hard cast 200gr rnfp 44 mag bullets on clearance for 20 bucks and couldn't pass them up. They have a gas check and we're tumble lubed at factory.

I usually load 240gr jacketed with h110 so I have like 3.5 lbs of the h110.

Is there any way to marry the h110 with the 200gr cast bullet? I'm not seeing this combo in my load manuals (Lee, Hornady, Sierra). I've googled a ton, and can't find a lot of info either. I really want to use what I have available if possible. This is for a lever action rifle, not a revolver.

Thanks in advance.
 
My Lee manual shows 225gr and 280gr jacketed bullets starting loads at 19.5 (225) and 18.5 (280) up to 21.5 max for both. Lee manuals being relatively conservative on loads I’d say these would be a good starting point for your 200gr lead rounds (if you feel like getting western;).The velocities are at around 1214min to max 1482fps which would keep you around the max for leading issues I believe. Max pressures seen on the loads were 33,400.
