[QUOTE="TRexF16, post: 2060190, member: 108912"] Along with some more obscure cartridges, they dropped both the .284 Winchester and the .358 Winchester. The .358 Winchester! Even though they make one of the best bullets in the world for it (225 Partition). Come on, Man! Who says you have to drop cartridges to add cartridges? They took a pass on evaluating some real game changing cartridge/powder combinations, such as PP 2000-MR in the .35 Whelen or RL-26 in the .270 Win (or RL-26 in lots of other cartridges, for that matter, but the .270 is one of the real standouts with 150 gr.). Haven't seen much at all of Superformance or the Enduron Line-up. There's been plenty of time since the last manual was published to test these. There's a burn rate chart up front that is not only poorly formatted, but shows H4350 as a slower powder than IMR4831 even though every example I found in the book that lists both H4350 and IMR4831 for a given cartridge/bullet combo shows IMR4831 as the slower of the two. Overall I am happy to have it because I can afford it and maybe I will find something useful in it, but I am glad I still have their older manuals, to reference those rounds they dropped in this one. Merry Christmas, Rex [/QUOTE]
