I just go the 5th edition Hornady, I find it is not all that great. I also have the compilation Loadbooks as seen on page 25 of the September Midway catalog. I have found that the Sierra entries in the Loadbooks are my favorites. The 5th edition Hornady manual sure leaves the loads light. They recommended a max of 39.something grains for .308 178 grn. A-max for the M1A. That is a crock of crap because everyone else listed their 175 grn. bullets at a max between 42-44 grns. I loaded them up at 42 and 42.2 grns. and they worked great.
I was just a little disappointed in the $35 Hornady manual compared to the comprehensive Loadbooks manuals that sell for $7.99 or less per caliber.
