I don't have that powder and can't comment with experience, but I often run in to the same problem finding data for Alliant Power Pistol. It's apparently a very good powder for high octane jacketed rounds and not a "likely" choice for lead, but I still use it, and to great effect.

I would e-mail Hodgdon and ask for help. Worst they can do is ignore you.

Anyhow... I feel your pain!

Tell me what caliber you need and I'll see what I have to swap. PM me and we'll discuss.
