im new to reloading. very new. dont even have everything yet.. i do have "modern reloading" by Richard Lee, i got it last year around this time when i had planned to start reloading, but couldnt find any powder anywere, so i never got around to getting anything else. im re-reading it now, as i dont remember a lot from reading it a year ago. but i do remember having this question even then...
using this book, another book, and the loading data online for whatever powder im looking at, seems information is still limited. and right now, im looking at a powder i have heard a few good things about, and its got a good price right now. but its not in my book, and there online data is not too informative. this is the ETR7 by expansion industries.
what does one do when they cant find the exact data for a powder?
for example, my local shop has power pistol. thats all i can find close by, i looked at the data for that (thought the cost is twice that of the ETR7 right now) after hazmat for the ETR7, its still cheaper but about $20 for 4 pounds (power pistol will be about $110 after tax, ETR7 $89)
my book gives me load data for 230gr jacketed, but not 230 gr lead (45ACP),
on the same note, it shows nothing for 9mm for copper plated or Jacketed.
There site only shows info for "speer" bullets. i have used lead in the past and have no issues doing so. and its cheaper. just range practice is all i need it for.
