[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 2042499, member: 10178"] Yes I still use my old manuals also. The first manual I bought was the #10 Speer when it came out about 1979 and still have it. I also picked up a Speer #8 at a book sale years ago. Talk about some wild loads, it has them. The Sierra 4th which I love with the suggested accuracy and hunting loads that are usually about spot on for accuracy is the one that I still use most. I have the newer one #5 but it list a lot of Viht powders that I don't have, can't get easy and will not pay that price. Most of the stuff that I hand load for I have done it for YEARS and if it ain't broke I don't try to fix it. Only thing in the past few years that I did not have load data for that I started shooting is the 6.5 Grendel. I did a lot of internet surfing of the powder and bullet companies to get data and I bought a Hodgdon annual manual that had good data for it. I also cheated and took a few pictures with my phone camera of a couple newer manuals that were in Bass Pro Shop of the data for it. [/QUOTE]
