A pistol powder. What are you wanting to load? I believe I have data which could help.A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

No just many manuals and such. Both old and new. Been doing this a long time. That is where many of the old manuals come in.
If I need a quick load I have someone who does it for me.A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

HS-7 has been discontinued a long time ago. HS-7 is slow. Hodgdon lists it at #48 in their burn rate chart. I think it was the same as Winchester 571 which has also been discontinued.
I just looked in an old Speer reloading manual and they have some HS-7 9mm loads listed for 124 grain and 147 grain. They have some listed for 357 magnum 125, 140, and 158 grain bullets. They have some listed for 40S&W 155 and 180 grain bullets. 10mm 155, 180 and 200 grain bullets. There is also some listings for 41 and 44 magnum loads.Be sure to ask your doctor if depression, rectal bleeding, and suicide are right for you.

Quickload doesn't have HS-7 listed. At least version 3.6 doesn't.
HS-7 is old discontinued powder. I do not know why they discontinued it. Maybe it didn't sell very well. Hodgdon/Winchester/IMR will be discontinuing a few other powdders that don't sell very well. I think PB, SR-4756, an SR-7625 are going bye-bye.

As stated by others, heavy payload 9mm, 45 ACP and shotgun. It's slower than HS6, so it's not quite as versatile. I have some very old manuals that list loads for HS7. If you need data, PM me with what calibers you want to load with HS7 and I will forward you whatever data I have.Comment

HS-7 is good for .38 spl, .357 mag, .41 mag, 10mm, .44 spl, .44 mag and others.sigpic"Don't mistake my kindness for weakness. I am kind to everyone, but when someone is unkind to me, weak is not what you are going to remember about me."
