Recipe for .38spl with alliant power pistol?

[PeteL]

Hi folks, I'm just getting started reloading for .38spl. Using 160gr plated AIM bullets, problem is that I can't find ANY load data for alliant power pistol powder. Does anyone out there use this powder? any recipe suggestions?

try www.alliantpowder.com.Their 2004 pamphlet says 4.9 power pistol for 160 gn jsp, a +P load 880 fps. My reading says plated SHOULD NOT be loaded hot, and can't be crimped heavily. Power pistol is a little slow burning for your purpose.
