I have recently been gifted (???) a small can of Alan AL-7 powder and I have no info or experience with it. I load for standard pistol and want to know if I can use it.

Thank you for the info. I didn't know where else to turn. I'll put it to good use!
Lyman Handgun Loading Manual dated 1978 lists ALCAN powders.
Also, the PO Ackley manual has some ALCAN listings.
Not having any luck loading the file. Send a PM with your e-mail addy and I will send it to you.
