Reloading data for Trap 100 needed

[Armored Metal]

What vintage reloading book would be best for shotgun and pistol loads using Trap 100.

There are quite a few books available on Amazon or Ebay but I have no clue wich one or what year is best.

Suggestions?

Thanks

Trap100/452AA was discontinued over 20 years ago.

Hodgdon's 25th, and Speer's 11th both show metallic data (pistol). Hodgdon's also shows shotshell data. Both of these are late 1980's publishing. I may have more that include data, those were just the first I checked.

Depending on what you want to use it for will determine which manual is best, but you are looking for 25 to 30 year old manuals for data.

Thanks for the response. I want to use the powder for .45ACP and light birdshot shotgun loads (shooting plates at 10M).

Lymans 3rd edition will have data for shotgun loads with the trap 100 .

Here is an online source you can check out http://stevespages.com/page8c.htm
I find his website to have a good selection of loads for different cartridges and powders.

I would double check loads from Steve's pages; several of his guns were pretty tolerant pressure wise.

I have some freebie Hodgdon manuals from last Century as well as Winchester data from circa 1995, if that can help.

I found a copy of Winchester's here: www castpics.net/LoadData/Freebies/RM/Winchester/Winchester1997.pdf

Hodgdon published some regular Data Manual(s), the one I saw was from 1986:
Hodgdon data manual no. 25,
Hodgdon, c1986.

I'll take pictures of the pistol pages from the Freebies.

I worked up a .45 ACP load with the data you gave me. I don't know when I'll be able to try it but I'll let you know when I do.

I finaly got the chance to go to the range today and try out some .45ACP loads.

Best result was 5 shots inside 0.6" with 5.0g of Trap100 (230g fmj Zero bullets). Distance was 5 meters.

Big thank you to CGNer kg for posting the load data.
