I've seen posts like this in other forums and the general consensus was that allowing information like that would lead to the posiblity of liability issue with todays general Sue Hungry society. Even with a "use at your own risk" disclaimer, somebody, somewhere could easily do something stupid and get a lawyer that would be willing to come down on the owner for liability reasons. I think it's just better to stay with the books since they test each load given to assure safety and pressure standards for the intended purpose.

I'm pretty new to this side of things but that's my take on it.

Have to agree. When someone asks for a load, I quote out of one of my reloading manuals and give the edition number, etc. so they know where to look to confirm it. And I give the minimum and max for that load.
As an aside, I was checking loads on the Alliant website and they had a well over max load for the .44 Magnum. I let them know. It was pretty obivious someone made a typo when they were doing the website, but a new reloader might not have caught it.

http://handloads.com/ has such a tab, with literally hundreds of loads for multiple calibers. It is a very useful place. I use them as a starting point and then try to verify with a second source--usually a powder manufacturer, my Lee Modern Reloading or my Lyman Pistol and Revolver Handbood.

It is a great place to browse and get ideas.
