Winchester 540 is the same powder as Hodgdon HS-6 if that helps. I checked all my data here and came up with nothing.

I looked in an old Hodgdon manual and see they recomended starting load for HS6 of 5.2 and a max of 6.8 on 200 gr lead for 357 magnum. That should be a good range for 180 jacketed.
