And, I still have the Basic computer program I wrote to put the same correlations into my first personal computer. (The equations were published by NRA in the "Handloading" book by William C. Davis.) But, Basic programs stopped working when Windows XP was replaced by Vista.

Of course, the cardboard Powley slide rule still works, even when the power company can't fix the grid and my generator runs out of gas. So, I don't think I'll bother to put it in the recycle bin just yet.
