Whoops, not the oldest one I have.
From the 2002 PDF.
SRA 230 FMJ OAL = 1.250"
No.2 5.5 804 6.1 874
Wow. 6.1 sounds stout.
Although AA #2 data is not included, Midway's .45 ACP LoadMap does have A LOT of WW231 data, and it's STOUT! Some 230 grain bullet loads go up to a 6.6 grain max/21,000 psi/925 FPS from a 5" barrel. I tried their Speer 230 GD load using 6.1 grains WW231, COL of 1.20", and got this from my 4.4" SIG P220:
230 grain Speer GD, 6.1 grains WW231, CCI 300
812, 825, 820, 822, 825, Avg 820 ES 13 SD 5
FWIW, they list 6.5 grains of WW231 as MAX!!!... And mind you, these max loads are rated at 21,000 psi, being max standard pressure. When really pushing things, I always used AA #5, or HS-6, and in testing grain-for-grain, I got very similar results from my particular lots of propellant made many years ago... But even their data for HS-6 is over a full grain more than I used, topping out at
9.9 . I'm not saying it's unsafe data; just the same using it in a 26 oz pistol with an AL frame is beating up both of us pushing nearly 1000 fps.
Of course WW231/HP38 are not exactly the same as AA#2, I thought I would show what a very near relative would produce, and that a lot of older lab produced data was MUCH stouter. AA #1 manual was one I recall being just that, and many loads have since been radically reduced (AA2460 in .223 w/55 grain FMJ being one off the top of my head).
