Greetings @zimmer,
Thanks for that. I have added the load data to my old data file. Based on the inclusion of the 7mm Rem Mag and the price of 7 shillings and sixpence it dates from the mid 1960's. My copy of Reloading Simplified is from 1970 or a little later and has no data for 4740. I remember reading somewhere that handloaders often used the same data for 4740 and 2201 and both powders burnt out their rifle throats at the same rate. I must be a far gone handloading looney when receiving data for some long dead powder fills me with joy.
Regards Grandpamac.
