Gents,
I bought 2 lbs of AA#7 by my own inattention. Is/are there any load data for this powder for the 44 wcf? I'm using either REM brass or Starline......Win L.P. primers and 200g hard cast lead boolits.
I thought I found one listing showing 10g start to 11g max. but didn't save that site and now can't find it......so maybe I was just dreaming......any ideas or places to look up? AA's online load data doesn't show 44wcf.
Looks to me that AA #7 is more of a magnum powder. It rates with higher pressure than the 44 WCF is going to need. Looks to me that AA #5 is more appropriate.

. . . .But. . . .
QL tells me you can go "quite-a-bit" more than 11 grains before you hit 15-16,000 psi
Straight out of the Acc load book: 200 gr lead 11.2 for 1004 fps 11300 cup
.215 lead 10.5 for 945 fps and 11600 cup
These are the only loads listed for cast.
It also warns to NOT reduce loads, use as listed
Western Powder manual has only loads with AA2 and AA5 for 44-40.
