I have looked at this sites loads before. It looks OK. BUT, I will always "sanity-check" against other sources (powder manufs., bullet manufs.).
I believe they show a field called "source", and the couple I looked at were same as Alliants site. |

Yes. The field on the right side of data sheet will say where the load came from. If it says "guest", then it is from a private party. If it's from a commercial source, ie, Hodgdon, then it says so. As all load books state, reduce loads by X % before starting.

That site was started by a real nice guy in Duvall, over 10 years ago.
I don't think he is there anymore.

most of what i saw pretty much came straight from the books or manufacturers website.
i guess if you have no books of your own its d decent resource.

It's a mix of data copied from manufacturer's web sites and loads contributed by individuals. I use it as another source, but never rely on a single source for a load/powder combo I'm unfamiliar with.
