Winchester 452 AA

[SeabeeKen]

I have a few pounds of 452aa that I used in shotguns years ago. I'd like to try it in my 45acp but don't have any of my old loading manuals. Does anyone have an old manual that can look up starting and max loads with this powder? I'll be loading 230 gr rn bullets. Thanks

Ken

The WW 452/473/540 ball powders load/shoot quite well in the 45ACP case w/ heavy bullets(220-260).
If memory serves me correctly,Speer manuals of #7 thru #10 has above listed loads
(I don't have the manuals in front of me)

WW 452 burn rate is equiv to IMR 700X.
WW 473
WW Win Action Pistol(WAP) burn rate
WW 540
WW 571 burn rate is equiv to Blue Dot.
