  I found a can of Win. 630 powder and cannot find any load data in my loading manuals. How far back in loading books do I need to go?
  
  Thanks,
  
  Steve

  According to a burn rate chart WW630 falls between WW571 and Accurate #7 as the closest available references.

  The 1976 Winchester loading pamphlet lists 630 as being a "high
  energy powder suitable for a variety of pistol cartridges. (and even 45-70...used in factory loadings) Other loading manuals of that vintage might have loads listed as well....the powder was somewhat short lived.

  Make sure you don't have the Win 630 P, {630P }, powder.
  It was a mistake that burned faster than Bulleyes. Some listed loads from the early 1970's blew up guns before they pulled it from the market.
