Got about 5 pounds of AL 5 that is good. Dont use it for shotgun anymore, any good handgun loads for it? Hate to not use it up. Rifle?

    Ive got six pounds of AL 5 I would like to burn up. I have found books with recipes for handgun loads, and shotgun, but I would really like load some rifle loads. Cant find any in the old books. Ill use it in handguns unless someone has an old book for rifle loads.

    cut and pasted "Speer No 9 has data for the Alcan powders in several pistol cartridges. By their load tabulation, Al 5, 7, and 8 all fall between Unique and Blue"

    In Propellant Profiles there is an article by John Wooters about Al 5, but he only lists a couple handgun loads (357 w/non-jacketed bullets)
