Accurate and Ramshot have their new load guide out. It combines both Accurate and Ramshot data together, it is Edition 5.

Thanks for the link.
While I don't presently use these powders, with the way things are, there's no telling what will be available.

Sweet.

But still nothing for .32-20 for handguns.

Sigh...

I have an irrational array of powders in my cache, but currently only two handgun powders from these folks.

Frankly -- the work they've put in to this published data suggests that they are trying to earn my business. I can tell you that I am impressed.

I would love to grab a handful of the different powders I have and swap them for some of these I've never tried. Right now, I have a little AA#7 and a good supply of AA#9. I've dabbled with the #7 and it's worked well for me. I've done a bit more with #9 and been even more impressed. I hear good things about the Ramshot line, too.

What I really need to do is to STOP buying Alliant powders. I do like the ones I have, but their efforts at product support are, well, craptastic.

This is great info, much thanks for the link.

Cool.

They are the only other company to date besides Hodgdon to publish 30k psi .45 Colt loads.

Some pretty impressive rifle numbers too.

They are also the only company to publish 5.56 NATO loads at true NATO pressures.

Very cool, they have 6.5x47 data. I think only Vihtavouri and Berger have published data for that cartridge.
