I am get tired of waiting on reloading manuals to include some of the "new-fangled" pistol cartridges. I guess the bullet and powder makers think they will just be flashes in the pan.

For example, if I remember correctly, I saw that the new Hodgdon manual does have .357 sig data, but not .400 CorBon, .45 Super, .460 Rowland, or .224 Boz. Anyone know whether a manual publisher is going to do some testing on these and publish reliable safe data and measurements? (of course assuming the gun is specifically chambered for it, etc. - as is standard with ANY cartridge) And when? As for the Boz cartridge being proprietary, so what? The Weatherbys are published, and they are proprietary.
