Hello folks, new on the site but actually becoming an old stagger.
I've ended up with a few tins of noble rifle 0, rifle 3 revolver 1. They are all in great shape so please don't post the old powder warnings.
I I shoot various calibers that can use these powders and probably have enough experience to work up my own data but published data would be greatly appreciated. Back in the 80's I had the data book but have probably lent it to someone and not had it returned.
Many thanks.

there from 1958 i am told

No, nothing like that old. I don't know when the battleship grey taller thinner tins were introduced, but I'd reckon 70s or early 80s. If you come across really old ICI Nobel powders, they're in squat almost cubic tins and were painted dark green. They used to turn up every now and then in the 90s / oughties and as with grey cans today, their contents were still usable if the tin remained sealed.

Working up from no data is frowned upon here as an unsafe practice see forum rules.

Have you read post number 15?
