Pearl Scot Powder loads.

I need current loads for 38 Spl, 9mm and 45ACP.
I have Pearl Scot first edition and OAL info doesn't work with some later bullet styles.
If someone could send me copies of those pages, I'd appreciate it.
This powder has hung around long enough and needs to be consumed.

  You, as the reloader, work up the COL for the bullet and your gun. You start at the COL that feeds and chambers in your gun and then start loading at the lowest starting load you can find. COL in manual is shortest COL the data applies to and is NOT a recommended COL for you to use. Longer COL is often more accurate than shorter.
  This powder is discontinued. It is reportedly similar to AA5, so if I had NO data, I would use AA2 data and work up.
  What bullet weights? Jacketed or cast/plated?

  I do have a number of other powders but Pearl Scot looks pretty good for 38 Special, 45ACP and maybe 9mm lead loads.
  Published loads for swc 45-200 chronographed very low. My bullet design didn't permit seating to published OAL.
