reloading data online

Any advice on a website with reloading data for a 45 acp would be greatly welcome. Thanks for any help, looking for data on loading Berry 185 gr plated bullets.

All the powder manufacturers have sites with free data. I've subscribed to Loaddata.com for several years. For about $20/yr., you get all the published load data for hundreds of calibers from manuals, articles, and manufacturers. I stopped buying manuals several years ago.

Google works good. I often just search for the powder I want to use on Google.

This is the site for Hodgon, IMR, and Winchester Data.

I operate under President Reagan's famous adage, "Trust, but verify." That is, use more than one source. Lot's of on line stuff now that was not available up until a few years ago. Sure is handy.

Have you picked your powder of choice, yet?

If so, then go to that manufacturer's website.

There's some good low to mid velocity accuracy load data on the Bullseye Pistol forums site.

There is a website I saw one time called handloads.com or something like that where I guess anybody is free to post any load they care to share. I don't discount their experiences, but at thihs point in my loading experience, I prefer to only use loads published by some factory with proper laboratory testing equipment.
