You can use valid load data designed for any jacketed 170gr bullet with any other brand, as long as you start out 10% under just to be safe. Personally, I don't go that low, but that's my choice for my reloads only. Experience has showed me that unless it's a solid copper bullet, such as the Barnes, the load data for one brand of bullet is ok for any other brand, as long as the weights are the same.
Think of it this way, you are moving the same weight down the bore, against the same amount of friction, so the same powder charge will work, regardless of who manufactured the bullet.
