Handloads.com

I want to use Handloads.com data for reloading. Some of the recipes indicate a starting load but some don't. I tried contacting the site but that page is unavailable.

Are the charges for recipes without recommended starting loads, starting loads?

I believe the load listed is the load that person is loading. Some give the starting amount and some don't. If I get a load from there I check with the reloading book and or the manufactures web site to make sure it is within the starting and maximum load.
I always double check

Loaddata is the best, with a compilation of all Reloading Manuals and other sources. Best $17 annual subscription I ever bought.

You would be wiser to read at least two manuals before you start trying to use your web sight. The manuals cover all the important steps and explain why.

You will be finding load data that will not fit your use and can be dangerous. When you read the manuals you learn to understand why.

Rebs, ok thanks. He didn't include the .com and I didn't make the connection with Loaddata being another site. Just another brain cramp.
