Load data for WC867

Probably not much help to you but the jugs I have say to use AA8700 data. I use this stuff in 45-90 and 45-70's and you can't overcharge it in those cartridges, but that's a lot different than 50BMG.
Is this the same as the 8700 data sheet from 2003?
Not finding anything for AA8700 on Google.
Just references about it

Some odd years ago, I used this powder for 50BMG. Attached is an email I had with a guy who did 50 reloading and owned a reputable shop dealing with 50BMG stuff.
I dug out my old AA loading guide #1 and for 50 browning with a 750gr bullet start load-195gr and max load of 218gr of AA8700.
At 205gn for the 750's it is right in line with the data I found for 8700 powder.
Any ideas on 800's?

Sorry never went above 750. I thought there was a thread on some heavyset weight 50BMG on here. I sold my 50 a while back but will look and see what if any data I have laying around.
My manual only lists 2 loads, the other one is 642gr so not what you're looking for. I will say after using these powders for quite a few years that they vary quite a bit from lot to lot since they are pull down powders so back off 10% or so and work up.
