Is it worth the $29.95 subscription cost?

I am doing it. < $3 a month is a good deal. Now they just collect data from different sources, loading manuals, magazines etc. They don't do load development themselves. You can search and sort load data. I use it for cross reference most of the time.

It used to be when they had access to all loading manuals both new and old. Since they lost the rights to Sierra, Hornady, Nosler and a few others it's rather limited and not worth it to me any longer.

I have found it to be useful but not necessary. I haven't decided whether I will re-up, yet.

Too much data available for free. If you want to spend money, QuickLoad is money better spent, by far.

Yup, Quickload is awesome. If you want to spend some money, pick that up. You won't regret it.

Do any new reloaders work up a load ? There are no magic loads are there ?
" SUGGESTIONS" in load data, Maybe !
I guess its the nature to avoid the "labor" in working up a load and trial and error is a thing of the past.
I like to look at the other loads suggested for a caliber but return to the several load data books to make my final decision on what powder to use and always start at a near min load and work up from there to get a "good" load in my firearm.

Did I miss some thing while I slept last night ?

What does that have to do with WHERE those suggestions are found?
