TANSTAAFLThere Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.(From Robert A. Heilien, the moon is a harsh mistress.)

People that want someone to give them their loads for a certain caliber, are looking for a short cut. SURELY there has to be some magical load that will be good in their gun! There is, it's called factory ammo! The factories spend lots of money working any load for handguns, rifles, and shotguns that will work well in many different guns of the same caliber.

They expect to go to the store, or order online a pound of powder, a box of bullets and 100 primers to load in the brass they've been saving. To produce great shooting ammo immediately. As Nick and others have said, it's not that easy. You have to do it the same way us oldepharts did it to produce the loads we MAY decide to share. It's called experimenting, or just plain old work!
