Reloader 7 in .44-40

The other day I found a jar of Reloader 7 at the gun shop. I have not seen this powder around here probably for years. I have never used it either. When I saw it there I seemed to remember Savvy Jack of Chasing the 44-40

likes this powder for .44-40 rifle loads so I bought it.
The two manuals I have, Lyman 50th Reloading Handbook and Lyman 4th Cast Bullet Handbook do not have any data nor did the Alliant website. Does anybody know of any published data for Reloader 7 and the 44-40?

On a burn rate chart, fastest to slowest, it is#71 out of 142. 23 gr. will probably about
fill the case.

Reloader 7 is made by Alliant not Accurate / Hodgdon.

I'd save it for my .30-30. Don't have a .30-30? Good excuse to get one!
