    AA-7 and the 327 federal

    I have a lot of AA-7 powder that I bought before the prices went crazy 8 or 9 lbs (5 or 7 years ago), I wourd like to use is up. I can find load info for the 45 and 38, but would like to use some on the 327 (my latest urge), I can't find any info from loading manuals no the 327 and AA7, I don't want to load max loads but would like to know the limits, range. I have looked on line, and can't fine much info for loading the 327, other then Hodgens etc. and they wont give any info for any powder that they don't sell.
    Thanks

    my only 327 experience in this line was with Hornady 100 grain JHP's and 8.5 grains of no. 7 gave me ~1,350 with an SD of 28 from a 7.5 inch barrel with indeterminate accuracy . IIRC, that is the start load for that bullet in the Western Data guide, which is where I got the load from. I only had a small amount in a partial can given to me by the widow of a friend, and most of that got used in up in 9mm 147 grain loads, so I never got around to really giving it a real test.

    Thanks everyone! I found the Accurate load data page as suggested, and it gave me the information I was looking for. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

    My first loads to shoot in Project 616 were a group buy 125 gr NOE bullet over a stout charge of Accurate #7. I think it was a little overenthusiastic, but I’m confident reasonable loads with #7 are readily available. Please keep us in the loop with your findings.
