Does anyone have experience loading Accurate 11FS? I was hoping to find IMR 4227, but lucked into some 11FS and picked it up as the burn rate and usage looks similar.

Seems all that's available is more obscure powders.
I use it in my 357 and 44 mags. It works well, I like it just as much as H110.
From my past google research. Take it how you want.
I have one of the newer Accurate powders which is a version of W296 but has a flash suppressant added. That's 11 FS and after talking to Rob Behr up at Western Powder Co, his opinion is that it can be loaded using W296 data.

I wouldn't use 296 data to load 11FS.
In 44 mag, for one example, the common max of 240 gr. jhp/24.0 W296 is a bit hot compared to the Accurate powder data listed in my Western Handloading Guide:
240 gr. Sierra JHC/22.6 11FS (MAX)
Glad it helped. Update to the new link for the pdf
