I have an old can of Winchester ball powder 630 and would like to load it for .270 Winchester rifle rounds but can not find loading data. Can anyone help? Thanks much!

I have two cans of it, and use it for medium-heavy loads in my 45 Colt. It is superb in that use, and I dearly regret that is is long discontinued.
It MIGHT be useful in reduced rifle loads (much like BlueDot) but I haven't done any tests in that use - and don't plan any as my supply isn't large enough. Plus, what good would it do to publish data for a powder that's been discontinued for 20 years?
Winchester 630. Really dirty as I recall. Was used in Winch. factory loading with the 405 gr FP bullet.
