He is published in diffrent "gun" magazines "American Handgunner", "Guns" magazine, and the S.P.G. magazine "Black Powder Cartridge News"
You can also "Google" a search for him and perhaps one of his articals will be pointed out.
Good Luck

i believe it was in handloader or shooting times
could also try accurate arms online

here are a few 5744 loads from their book with cci 200 primer and rem brass
300pb 27.9 1405 fps to 31.0 1597 fps all with 24" bbl
405 pb 24.71192 fps to27.5 1355 fps
475 w/gc 24.3 1102 to27.0 1253 fps
500pb 23.4 1070 to 26.0 1217 fps
530pb 20.1 1036 to22.4 1178fps with postell
530 pb rn 25.6 1024 to28.5 1280fps

these are below 18,000 psi and should work well in your pedersoli
