Weagle-- Congrats on using this famous (to the cognocenti) caliber. I use 150 Coreloks to this day as small game bullets in both my 350, and now my 358. Here is that load for the 350: 25gr. IMR 4227 powder; 150gr. Corelock; CCI 250 primer. I always used either 180's or 250's for big game. However, in poking around in old records I find I once developed this load for the 150's: 56gr.2015 BR; Fed.215 pr. Unfortunately, I can't locate the speed. The cases were fine, pressure-wise. I dimly remember that I could get those little 150's moving pretty fast! Lastly, here's a 180 load we can maybe extrapolate to 200 from: 66gr. Win.748 pwdr.; 180x bullet; Fed.215 pr. If you drop that powder charge to about 60 grains you may have a pretty good recipe. Shoot straight!
