Reloading data needed

Went to a gun show the other day. Someone suggested the Speer # 10 manual for HS-5 Data. Found one of the #10 manuals and bought it. Yep HS-5 data was sure in there. Got the darn manual for a buck. Now the darn thing recommends mag primers for the powder. Not a big deal but wasn't expecting that. I like that manual cause it also has a lot of 630 loads..and I have about 5 lbs of it right now too.Maybe more..Also have 680..LOL

ArchAngel CD..what was the Winchester iteration of HS-5? ..I know 6 and 7 were 540 and 571 respectively. I even used the Hodgdon 12 ga shotshell powder and believe it was 452 Win..or the previous 450 that Winchester had.
 
If you call Hodgdon they will probably tell you that Win 540 is the same powder as HS-5, but I'd like to hear it from them. After all, Chris Hodgdon stated flat out that W 231 and HP-38 are exactly the same powder.
