I hear ya...I've done it that way but then I end up with gold dot bullet loads. I have have almost every manual printed, i just figured they should include the staples....
I don't have and have never had any Unique or 2400 in my loading room.i just figured they should include the staples....
Data for 357 Magnum loads with non-jacketedSo be86 and sport pistol are the latest and greatest but no load data for unique or 2400 for lead in 38 or 357. In these times they are not exactly providing the best service by leaving out the popular options. It's not like they have tons of product on the shelf to choose from....View attachment 955711
BE-86 does everything that Unique does in the calibers that I load...9mm, .38Spl, .45ACP. Sport Pistol does everything I need in those calibers and BE-86 doesn't do as well. Both powders meter better also
Yes, they are pushing the new stuff.
You might think that until you find Winchester data from the early 90's on the Hodgdon web page, or limited data on newer Hodgdon powders such as CFE Pistol.When compared to the Hodgdon website, Alliant is stuck in the Stone Age.
The powder manufacturer's published data serves chiefly as an inducement for customers to buy their powders. Perhaps the powder manufacturers limit their recommended loads to highlight the best component combinations for their products.
Take Hodgdon's data for, likely, one of the most common cartridges loaded... the 124 grn 9mm. The use some obscure bullet, the 'BERB hollow-base, round nose, TP (not sure what that is...)' for 99% of the data? Crazy.
Alliant is owned by Vista Outdoors along with Speer, CCI, RCBS, Outers, Hoppes, Federal, and others.I really like alliant products and they are the only independent company left as far as I know. Vista outdoors owns everything else.
And a Lyman #44, but those are in a different subdirectory than the links in post #7. Here's that linkYou might have to shell out for a Lyman manual. Mine has data for both Unique and 2400 in .38 Special and .357 Magnum. Or, you can go to the website listed in post #7. There is a copy of Lyman #48 there.
My mistake I thought hogden fell under vista and got it reversed. Thanks for clarifyingAlliant is owned by Vista Outdoors along with Speer, CCI, RCBS, Outers, Hoppes, Federal, and others.

ETA: For powders, at least as far as marketing rights goes, the Hodgdon umbrella has the most brands these days in the USA especially since their acquisition of Western

BERB = Berry's Bullets
124grain, 9mm, hollow base, round nose,
TP = Thick Plate
Perhaps the particular hollow base TP isn't the most popular 9mm bullet in Berrys line
