nobearsyet, doing your list via a forum or the Internet will be spotty at best. May I suggest:
* Buy a copy of
Cartridges of the World, that lists all the center fire and rim fire calibers, original bullet weights, original gun powder charges and energy ever made
* Go to Cornell Press and buy the several reproduced pamphlets and cartridge catalogs that were produced by WRA and UMC. Bear in mind, that WRA & UMC, by caliber made specialty rounds also, ie paper patch and long range GG loads, in addition to the original loads
* Another good source is the loading data tables on the Goex website.
NOTE, these tables were not developed by Goex for their powders.
Back in the 70's, Hodgdon (who bought Goex in 2009) sold black powder that they bought from Nobel Industries, made in Ardeer, Scotland. It just happened that Nobel also bought out Curtis's & Harvey (C&H) which was also made in Ardeer, Scotland. I firmly believe that the loading data on Goex's website came from
C&H to Hodgdon via Nobel when they were selling Nobel powder and have had these tables tucked away ever since then. Why? They are a smokeless powder vendor only after they dropped selling BP until they bought Goex

Quote:I would like to compile a list of the original load data for the BP cartridges.
you can make a list of original loading data for every US and European center fire and rimfire caliber that shot original gunpowder, including bullet weight, powder charge, granulation, fps and energy that was every made using the sources that I provided to you
You didn't mention black powder shot shells! They are cartridges too. This data can also be obtained from Cornell Press from a C&H catalog with all the dram equivalent weights by powder granulation by gauge
Have fun because it is going to be a LONG LIST! Your 27 now. Let us know how old you'll be when it is completed!
