I ordered the 300 Blackout load book just to have some loads all in one book. It's funny when looking through I saw some pages I recognized from some of the manufacturers PDF's they released. They didn't even try to change the format. Even so I appreciate having them all in one place.
On every question of construction let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.
Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, June 12, 1823
You can never have too many load data references. Good for you on getting some.
"Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face!" - Mike Tyson
"Don't let my fears become yours." - Me, talking to my children
That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.
I like the One Caliber and Loadbooks, they have most data from many sources all between one set of covers. When working with a new load caliber, or powder I like to check several diffrent sources of data. These books make this quick and easy.
One for every caliber, but the same disadvantage as regular sources. Too many new powders every year and no updates meanes your behind on each book in a years time. If not used regularly, a regular manual is cheaper.
Information not shared. is wasted.
I own a stack of those one-cartridge load books and they're pretty handy. Looking up load data online is ok but the hard copy manuals never have connectivity issues and will outlive any computer I'll ever own.
Warning: I know Judo. If you force me to prove it I'll shoot you.
I've got load books for all the cartridges I load but they are not that up to date and I still use powder manufacturers info from their on line PDFs .plus Lee/Lyman/Sierra/speer manuals for bed time reading!
