[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2059598, member: 101791"] I have most of what you have in reloading manuals. I just got a new round of reloading manuals in the last few months. Disappointed in most of them, except Sierra newest manual. They by far are the most updated cartridge in their manual. I have and original Sierra manual, which I check against the new manuals. You will find changes in loading data. Some manuals are and Sierra has changed twist rates on the barrels they are using. Hornady does show that some of their bullets won't stabilize in different twist rate barrels. Which is more than fair or to my liking. I shot a 220 swift in a 1-14 twist. Sierra now only shows 1-12 twist rate barrels. They have slowed down their 55gr bullets by about 300fps. The moral of the story is don't throw out your old manuals out ever. The biggest problem I have is a new cartridge comes out. They compare their cartridge with a 26" barrel to another in the same caliber in a 24" or less barrel, stating how much faster there velocity. You really check into it, you will find they are almost the same. [/QUOTE]
