Hodgdons 2013 annual manual is out!

Picked up a copy and was excited to see they expanded on the calibers for CFE223 , was really excited to see the 30-06 as one of them

Apparently not. I looked up 30-06, as OP mentioned, and those loads are already in the online database. So if you use the online database you are alsways looking at the latest data.

The Grendel Forum guys say CFE has 6.5 Grendel loads in the latest manual:

http://www.65grendel.com/forum/showt...ll=1#post48846

But the on-line data does not (yet?) include it. So apparently there is a difference between web and hardbound that I'll have to check the GS's to find out

Brian, they really do a killer breakdown for every caliber and powders, my only complaint is that they don't use ALL bullet manufactures.
But it's pretty comprehensive and it's a magazine! I got to go get a new copy, as my copy is last years.

Just got home with the new Hogdon's 2013 Anual Manual, it says they have added 19 more cartridges to the CFE 223 powder data,( I hope 7mm rem mag is there) I'll let you all know how cool it is later.

Nope, but it still works when the power is out, or you lose your internet connection.




I'm feeling generous, so here's a quick list of the articles:

17 Hornet: Little in Size but Big on Performance
-Covers wildcat evolution and discusses the Hornady version in-depth

Reloading with Copper Fouling Eraser 223 Powder: Clean, Versatile & Accurate
-Don't know. Don't care. Didn't read it.

America's Choice: The 9mm Luger
-Don't know. Don't care. Didn't read it.

Built for Accuracy: The 223 Remington
-Covers some of the authors favorite tricks for getting good, accurate loads quickly in a .223.

How CFE Works
-Somebody was bored with a borescope, and decided to ramble on about CFE and what he thinks is in the powder. (Blah blah blah. Picture. Blah blah. Picture. Blah blah. It's the greatest powder ever - maybe. Blah blah.)

Quiet Time with Trail Boss
-Practical subsonic ammunition loaded with Trail Boss. ...didn't really read it (yawn).

IMR4895 Versus H4895 -- What's in a Name?
-They're totally different powders, but essentially interchangeable.
