Any reloaders familiar with HS-7 by Hodgdon .. i need data

I recently acquired an un-opened pound of Hodgdon HS-7 powder.
It's been dis-continued and the modern load books don't have it listed. Does anyone in the Waguns community have an old reloading manual that will share some data with me? In pistol I load 9mm, 38/357, 45 acp, 44 mag. I am hoping I can get some solid information from an old book to work up some loads for this powder. I did a google search and the best information I came up with was from this link http://stevespages.com/page8a.htm I would really prefer to work from an old reloading book. Anyone have an old book to share data? Makes me regret trading off all the old manuals that have come my way.

Thanks

Doug

What cartridges?

Doug, if you don't have the 49th, I can look it up (thought it'd be too new) and scan those in also

Wow, thanks guys you all were a great help. But now I feel foolish.... I have the 48th and 49th Lyman editions on my shelf and for some reason just assumed that they wouldn't have load data for HS-7 in them. Well they do....not sure what was going thru my head at the time of the original post. Thanks for your time in straightening me out and the willingness to scan and email pages.
So now it's time to burn up a 20 year old can of HS-7 :cheers2:
