    Change in Hodgdon data

    Hodgdon has updated their website. When you are looking for load data you can now enter which primer you have. A positive change!
    Remember the Law of Probability - The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

    I comprehended what you meant tonight!

    Yes! It is most helpful to be able to narrow data by primer for Shotgun loading.

    I was irked that the rifle data no longer lets one select several powders before hitting the get data button. I guess take the good with the bad...

    I am not seeing that option. It lets me pick rifle / pistol, then the cartridge, then the bullet weight and powder. Then it gives me a button to show the data. Then it tells me what primer was used for testing.

    I did one rifle cartridge (30-06) and one pistol cartridge (44 Special). What are you doing different?

    Primer selection is only available in the Shot shell section.
    Remember: Ammo will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no ammo.

    I must be simple, because I had trouble finding anything that I wanted on it. Not a fan at all, and I told Hodgdon about it, too. It won't do any good, but at least they know.

    It Def makes it easier to use now. Since i Mostly only used Cheddite Primers now, i hated having to check through every load for them.

    Yeah, after actually working with it for a while, I guess it ain't that bad. You can't select primers except in the Shotgun data, though.
