Does any one have the load data for WW-571 ball powder for 20 gauge?
Also I think (clearing cob webs in the brain) that there were pistol data for it? Maybe .357, .38spl or .44.spl and .44 mag?

Thanks.
Please include source.

You are right randy. However I am looking for the source as in what data manual they refer to. For all of my collection of reloading manuals from 4 decades was stolen by some one who managed to break into my cabin. Now I have a few pounds of powder given to me that was discontinued years ago and he has 20 pounds more that I can have. I used to reload with the very same powder in the 70s but with out the data manual I can’t use the stuff.
If I have the name of the manual I can have the local library have one sent in from another library archives.

Another Q. Is HS-7 the same as WW-571? I found this info;

As far has the HS-7 being equal to WW-571 I went to their site and found this;
http://www.hodgdon.com/smokeless/shotpist.php
Now there you will see that Hodgdon says HS-7 is “identical” the WW-571. But!!! Some folks have found the pressures are NOT the same. So being the careful soul that I am I will some of my test guns to check pressures of all these loads.

NEWBIES to reloading; Do not do this! I have a concrete walled test area, with a way to remote fire my test guns, and I have the equipment and education to test wildcat rounds and questionable ammo or guns.
There was a fellow who put a rust bucket 30-06 in a tire and shot it via long string to trigger; gun exploded and a piece hit wife 30 feet away and critically wounded her.
So be safe and always follow the reloading data from the factory.

Randy doesn't understand that you cannot obtain this data for obsolete powder without having the old manuals or handouts. As for the 20 gauge data:
2 3/4 inch Winchester compression-formed, Double A, Upland and Super-X

1 oz. Shot Win. 209 23.5 grains WW571 WAA20F1 wad Velocity 1165 fps 9,300 LUP pressure.

1 1/8 oz. Shot Win 209 24.0 grains WW571 Footnote: This load requires 80 to 100 lbs. wad pressure. WAA20F1 wad. Velocity 1150 10,700 LUP pressure.

Mec bushing No. 19 is close for both loads.

These loads are taken from the Winchester loading "handout" circa 1985 9th edition.

.38 Special 158 gr lead bullet 6.7 gr WW 571 Velocity 795 13,300 psi.
.38 Special +P 140JHP 7.4 grains WW571 Velocity 785 14,600 psi.
.38 Special +P 158 JHP 6.6 grains WW57 Velocity 700 14,100 psi.
There is data for 9mm Luger and .40 S&W too in the Winchester13th edition "handout" manual.

do yourself a favor, don't trust reloading data from strangers. It can get you hurt or killed. Get a loading manual, isn't your life worth the $20.00 price?

Most pistol powder and shotgun powders can be interchanged. Not all of them though some are pistol or shotgun specific.
