The exact same load as you see listed for Hodgdon TiteGroup.

Somewhere around 3.6-3.9gr for lead.

Winchester manual list the following for 170 LeaD.

START .2GR LOWER AND BE CAREFULL

4.3gr = 940fps
4.8gr = 1030fps.

All loaded to about 1.150", so if you load longer these should be fine with a 180gr Lead.
So many guns, so little time.

Go to Jeff M. page for WSL load info.. Wondering where you found WSL? Haven't seen any for a some time now... It was my most favorite Winchester powder.. I have 10 one lb. cans left.
