    Sounds like you have loaded the pistol load. If that is the case and the bullets are only cast there is no reason to believe they will not be safe to shoot in a rifle. They will just be slower than expected. You cant buy rifle power 357 mag factory cos someone might use it in a pistol and that would be bad! but plenty of pistol ammo is used in rifles.
    I shoot a lot of cast bullets mostly for plinking but also some small game hunting and use shotgun powders such as blue dot, green dot and 700x.
    Checked my ADI manual and your loads are for pistols so should be fine. If you want more oomph check out page 145 for rifle loads much more oomph!
