Older Reloading Manuals

[nascarkent]

I too have some older loading books. I use loads out of them.As long as you have decent modern gun, I say most of them are safe. The newer Lawyer loading books
make for whimpy loads. They all shoot . But some of them older ones let you know you shot some heavy thunder.

"wimpy load" - like loads that actually comply with SAAMI pressure limits and are
accurately measured rather than guessed at?

I do not miss the "old loads".

I have loaded for many years and this was a story from the 60's. The two loads listed was 10 grains and 11 grains. I used the 10 grain load. There was no other reference at this time and did the same as any other person would have done. I sure thank you for letting me know the proper way to load and have made note of it.

Massive Ego is an example of how a little knowledge without understanding can be a confusing thing. An object of a certain size is the same if it's meaured in inches or millimeters, ditto the effects of CUP and PSI.
