Just use 296 or H110 data.

Belmont Magnum Pistol is the exact same powder as sold by Winchester as 296 and by Hodgdon as H110. It's made by St Marks Powder in Florida.

If you follow this link to the Belmont site, you'll even see 296 in brackets after the name Belmont Magnum Pistol. Further down in the description, where they cut and pasted it, they even call it 296 not Belmont Magnum Pistol.

Thanks systolic. On their website, the number given looks to be the max load for 296. Will start at 16.1 I think.

Cheers.
