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.
