    CB load data: online sources

    This is a list of free online cast bullet load data sites:

    Some of these sites show suggested max load only, you should start at no more than 90% of the listed load then find what works best in your gun.
    It is highly recommended that you check 2 or 3 sources for data when working up a new load.

    Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook #3, multiple older reloading handbooks & downloadable load data https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%...%21238&o=OneUp

    Perhaps this will help some(?), but my way of thinking is; I pay no attention to any forum expert, range rat, pet loads website, gun counter clerk or gun shop guru for any load data. I have quite successfully and safely used data from published reloading manuals (with an occasional look-see at a powder manufacturer's web sites and a few are noted in the OP). I started reloading pre-web so I have only had experiences listening to gun shop gurus, clerks and range experts, and was uncomfortable with their suggestions, so I stuck with my Lee Loader data sheet for over a year until I could afford my first manual. My main data source for well over 30 years have been published reloading manuals (I've got mebbe a dozen now). I'm sure some will welcome references to "load data websites", but those I talk to avoid them...

    How might we add to this when someone comes across another source?

    This one has many sources in it, you just have to flip pages(click)/navigate through it. There are 29 pages to choose from & not all are for reloading data, but there are a few in there on some of the pages of that library that would be useful for the data perhaps...This link below is #18 of 29 , and is the Lyman Cast Bullet handbook. The choice of pages it at the top right on the page & some can be downloaded if ya like...
