does hornady have online load data

[hershey]

i/e if i am using their bullets do they offer the info on-line or do they want us to buy their book, i'd be kinda nice to see what they say to load for col and stuff w/ some of there a-max v-max stuff, but i really don't feel i need another reloading book just yet...

No, they don't list on-line data. They do have a Ballistics Center, which has some good information in it. Here's the link: http://www.hornady.com/ballistics/

Hope this helps.

yah, they sure made it pretty hard to find loads for .204 ruger!

Only powder company list load data. Bullet companies dont' because they want you to buy their reloading data books.

Nosler shares some of theirs; http://www.nosler.com/index.php?p=15

i guess because i have been having so much luck w/ the a-max/v-max stuff i'd better go get a book, i have been rebuked before for not knowing the correct col for them and i don't know where else to look.

hershey, www.hodgdon.com reload data shows a few Hornady bullets and their COL.
Nosler bullets are very similar in overall design and can give you an idea for loads.
Remember, COL is a suggested dimension, if you can fit the magazine, and you can seat the bullet out some without hitting the rifling, it can usually enhance your groups. That's just putting in simple terms.
Do some Google searches for reload sites.

Hornady is great to work with. I've both called and emailed 'em for load data. I've let 'em know I've bought their bullets and would like their load data for 'em. They've emailed me a PDF of the manual page for the bullets I've had in hand a couple of times now.

I'm sure they'd prefer you buy the manual, but they'll work with you.
