[QUOTE="mtelkhntr78, post: 410574, member: 14518"] All are great points and some I hadnt thought of. Some of your discussions go a bit more in depth than what I was getting at. Basically what I ment is why go out and buy, for instance, a Hodgdon Manual when you can go right to the Hodgdon website and load data and get the same exact thing for free. I guess another point I gave up on buying a manual was when I started using RL-17 in my 300wsm. I checked several manuals that didnt even have data for RL-17 and I found no reason to Buy a $30 book just to get one basic starting point for one cartridge and bullet weight. Plus I would have had to wait until the next printing to get what I needed and I wanted to have that load for hunting season. I went to the Alliant site and found a good starting point in about 5 minutes for that specific powder. I get the inpression that some may feel this is reckless but I dont see how it can be too bad when you are gaining data from the manufactuers web page. Whats the difference? Thanks its great to hear all your input! We are all set in our techniques of handloading but its good to hear some differnt thought processes. [/QUOTE]
