Back in the day you could look up great load data for all the different ranch dog bullets. For whatever reason it is no longer on the web(that I can find) What I am looking for in particular is 30-30 load data with the 165gr Ranch Dog bullet.
Do any of you guys happen to have this on file? Any help would be great. I'll post a pic of what my RD .308 data looks like so you'll know what I'm talking about.

Waco,

If you use the way back machine - you can get to some of it. I don't have time tonight to dig through it, but perhaps you can get lucky and find what you need using it.

I think this is the one you may have been looking for:

This is the pdf itself:
306609

You can cycle through the back up pages here:

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.ranchdogoutdoors.com/*

Look for the bullet model number and document type of pdf.

You are very welcome.

I need to go through these files and download the ones that interest me, as these archives won't be available forever. I have the ones for the molds I bought back in they day, but I don't think I am done buying Ranch Dog molds.

Have pity on a computer-ignorant old guy, please. Anything I click on the Wayback archive pages for Ranch Dog files leads me to a calendar that shows when the files have been downloaded. I'm having no luck accessing the files themselves. Anyone have time to explain the process, please? I sure would appreciate any pointers.

Thank you!

Edit:

Sorry, the site I was having problems with was this one:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://...outdoors.com/*

This one works better:
http://web.archive.org/web/201503280...goutdoors.com/

but unfortunately it doesn't have a working document for the TL339 bullet for the .338 Marlin Express I was looking for. By chance, does anyone have this load information?

Thanks again!

If you click on the dates where the arrows are pointing in the graphic above - it should open the files.

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.ranchdogoutdoors.com/*

This link I posted above shows many pages of links, but you have to look for the ones with the words "load notes" towards the end of the file and the file extension .pdf at the end - otherwise they are probably just pretty pictures of the bullets.

I never would have figured to click on the dates to see the files. Thank you very much for the help!

unless I'm doing it wrong, a lot of data is no longer available in the archives
