I just acquired an old Lee Handloader for 220swift.It's the kit with everything in one little black and red box.It has a little red powder measurer/dipper marked 196 but no load charge chart.

Can someone tell me what powder was intended to be used with this kit,I will be using a 55gr bullet?

LEE no longer sells load charge charts for kits out of production.

THANKS,Redtail

  You should have a 167 scoop with your kit. this will give you 36gr. of imr3031 and 37gr of imr 4350.

  I have the Lee Improved Powder Measure Kit with 15 dippers and their tables. 1.90 and 2.20 are the closest I can get to yours (1.96?)
  
  added I guess the none decimal numbered dippers are not the volume in cc's.
  
  Neither one of mine come close to throwing a correct charge of any IMR powder listed in my Hornady loading book for a 55 gr bullet in a 220 Swift.
  
  I would just make your own dipper for the charge and powder of choice.
  
  Given the limited powder availability I would try for H380 or W760 first.

  I found the information I needed on the auction side.The seller of a 220 swift kit included a picture of the load chart that clearly shows the data I needed.
  
  Thank you all.
  
  PS>I now have the correct#167 powder measurer(scoop)
