    Kindly state the Alcan type number. I believe I have references for Al-5 and AL-8.
    Rights, and Privileges, are not synonymous. We have the Right to Bear Arms. As soon as the Government mandates firearm registration, and permiting, then that Right becomes a Privilege, and may be taken away at our Master's discretion.

    Here's a link to an Alcan load pamphlet from the 1960s, posted on ScribD
    38 Spec and 357 Mag are almost at the end of it. Page 23

    Away from my manuals right now, but the Speer #8 and #9 manuals have a lot of Alcan data.

    Ditto on Speer 8 and 9. Just remember Speer 8 can be kinda spooky with the weights of some of their loads.

    Try finding handgun data for Alcan AL101!

    You can get electronic PDFs on these and other classic manuals from Cornell Publications…cost is low
