ATM, nothing. Woodleigh has it listed for all weights of 9.3x62 bullets, though. So does Nosler for the 286, as does swift for 250, 286, and 300 gr AF.
I get excellent results with Varget and NAB 250, and Big Game for NP 286. 2000MR works great with Hornady 286. That's actually my most accurate load.
I spoke with IMR representative who was very nice and helpful. He said they just have never worked up a load for a 470 using 4955 powder but he has put in a request. I told him all of us have struggled to be able to buy any powder ones the last 6 months. Also I said it does not matter why but the facts are IMR 4955 powder seems to be the only powder we can buy

Rare Breed, please let me know what load IMR suggests, I'm curious to see how close it is to the results I got from QuickLoad. From what I understand the need or desire to use alternative powders is one of the reasons why QuickLoad was developed.

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
