    If by low velocity you mean really low vel I don't recommend jacketed bullets as they might stick in the barrel (I don't know about the plated ones).
    Even some commercial hard cast bullets have a very high friction coefficient with their dry lube and high antimony content.
    I suggest you use starting loads for the weakest guns (Trapdoors and Cie), given in manuals and on powder makers websites.

    If you are willing to switch to cast bullets and CBA speeds, have a look there: http://www.gmdr.com/lever/lowveldata.htm
