480Ruger loads using Power Pistol?

[Charlie U.]

I've been using W296 in making cast loads for the 480Ruger. Works great, but I happen to have a decent supply of Alliant Power Pistol on hand. It would be nice to be able to use it in the 480 because it burns quite a bit cleaner than W296. Unfortunately, my loading manuals don't provide me any load data for Power Pistol in that caliber at all.

Does anyone have loads for that powder? (not looking for supermax.......just something sane that will push 325grain and 400grain hard cast boolits to reasonably fast levels)

There are loads listed in the Lee Modern Reloading Second Edition Manuel I have for both bullets using W296 but not Power Pistol. Give Alliant a call or go online to their reload data area.

Thanks lobowolf,
Alliant's online data does list one 480 load for Power Pistol, but it is geared toward speer gold dot HPs, not cast.

I've e-mailed them requesting data, but in the meantime I was hoping someone here might have some load data.
