Anyone got Data for SP83

[stang]

Looking to load .357 mag 158gr SWC with SP83 I got from Higginson years ago.
Does anyone have any data?

No, but thanks for pointing out my mistake. It should have read SP83.

Have some of that it loads between Hodgdon Universal and International, using it in 9mm and 40 S&W and slug loads for the 12 ga. I looked up the data for both and used caution to find a starting load....

I also bought some of this back in the 1990's Try using data for Alliant - Herco Powder.

That's what I was doing but it seems to have quite a bit less energy than Herco with the same load ie. less velocity.

I'm using that powder right now for some .357 Mag loads using gas checks.
6.0 seems ok.
7.2 is too hot.

I have not chrono'd them yet.

I have the original SP83 load data from Ammomart before they became Higginson.
It has load data FOR:380 Auto,9m Luger,38 Super Auto, 38 SPL,38S&W,357 Mag,40S&W,10m Auto,41 Action Express,44Rem,44 Mag,45 ACP,45 Long Colt.
It's a great Australian surplus powder my buddies and I use for just about everything.

If you want a scanned copy send me a pm with your email address.

It lists the following for .357 Mag:
148gr LWC 4.6gr SP83 800FPS
148gr LWC 8.0gr SP83 1400FPS
160gr L 8.5gr SP83 1275FPS

I believe it was made by ADI in Australia. They have a chart on thier site for thier current production powders. The names will be different, but you can probably make an educated guess and work from there.
