You do not need bullet specific data. Just cast 220 grain data.
There happens to be one, unverified, Unique load for that very bullet on Reloader's Nest. Uses 9 grains with CCI 300 primers and gives 1200 fps. Reduce by 10% and work up.
 
I hunt with my 6 1/2 .41 Blackhawk using a 210 swc from an ideal 38-410 mold with 9.2 grains of unique. Didn't like Blue Dot or 2400 in it. If I can support myself well I get 6" groups at 50 yards.

I would like to add a bit this. Yes usually you can use any data for a given bullet weight. However to do this with any and every bullet can get one in trouble. Some bullets take up more case capacity than others of the same weight due to having a longer bullet shank. If one were to use the data for the 410459 bullet with the Speer 220gr bullet, excessive pressure would undoubtedly arise immediately. Also all newer data for the 410459 has been decreased 1gr where Unique and 2400 are concerned. I believe that this happened after the switch to piezoelectric method of measuring chamber pressures.

A good and accurate load for most .41's has been 8-8.5 gr of Unique. Such a load with that bullet will easily take any deer within 50 yards.
