The more I hear from all of you, the more it makes me want to give this reloading a try! Thank you for all the insight.
I don't believe the Maker Bullets are "Certified" non-lead for CA, but CBB are for sure. I have considered both of these as well, only reason I shy away from them is I haven't found much load data specifically for them. I have used the Hodgdon reload tool with a 107gr (in replacement for the 105gr MKZ) and H335 but I'm not sure that this load data would be acceptable to use, I don't have any experience to measure it up to. I guess that is what you all are for... I just need to ask more questions in this community instead of trying to figure it out all on my own.

And cavity back bullets has some stuff that might be worth a look.
