OnLine Load Data

Legionnaire · May 5, 2010, 01:43 PM

OnLine Reloading Data. As a "newbie" reloader, I've spent some time hunting for online load data, including reading a number of threads on this topic. I've concentrated on sites that offer data for a wide range of cartridges rather than those that specialize in a single cartridge. Figured I should share what I've come up with so far. Additions welcome!

Ya know what? I think we got ourselves a candidate for a sticky!

I use Load Data - it has all the open source material plus all the loads from Handloader Magazine. It is worth the $$$

Excellent list. I use data from forums but ALWAYS bounce it off the manufacturer's website.

I have had all of those sites boolmarked for quite sometime now.
Excellent list!

I have my reservations about some of the independent sites that use submitted data. I would compare those with known data from manufacture data as well. That said, I agree, as it has been mentioned, possible sticky. Great work!

I get my (starting

) data from paper sources; I check and confirm using paper sources.

Paper sources give time to ensure things are well-sorted......

Cautions understood and accepted. I have four current paper references, plus a couple of the "load books" available through Midway. I like paper! But I also like to be able to see what others are doing ... looking for inspiration. And I find that not all bullets are specifically mentioned in the manuals (like Missouri and Remington) so I gotta triangulate. Just like to have more data available to do so.
