I discovered a forgotten partial keg of AL-7 & have been looking for any published loads for it in the .44WCF. I've found loads in the Speer # 8 & #9 for it in the .45 Colt. I haven't found any yet for the .44 WCF. Does anyone have a source of data for it in the .44WCF?
I know Mike Venturino uses the identical loads for Unique in the .38WCF, .44WCF, & .45 Colt. I kind of hate to interpolate data without solid information to back me up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Frank

Thanks Bloodhound, I'm going to see if some of my older Lyman manuals have anything too. Frank

I found a couple pounds of AL-7 several years ago. I've used it in my 45 Colts and .357s. I really like it.
Wish I could find some more.
To answer your question, I've found data for a number of straight walled pistol cartridges, but none for the 44-40s.

I found some AL-7 loads for .44 Special in the Speer Manual No.8.
If you think that will help any, I'll be glad to send them to you.

After checking case capacities I realized there was no similarity between the 44 WCF & 44 Special. So, these loads wouldn't be any help.
However, there are 45 Colt loads using AL-7. Want them ??
