If the cookie recipe calls for butter and eggs and not for ground glass and rodent droppings, it may be worth a bake.

I am dabbling into baking cookies in retirement so is that salted or unsalted butter? And are eggs room temperature or refrigerator temperature?

Dang, I am craving rice crispy treats now ... with or without vanilla extract. :p

Get your own cookbook. I'm not sharing information from mine on an internet message forum - especially seeing as how with a minimal amount of effort you can probably find it online at a flour company's website. :neener:;)

I never wrote that
 
Sharing Cookie recipes on the internet is dangerous. Get a cookbook and stop being cheap. You gotta work up a recipe in your oven , what works in my oven may be too much for yours. ;)

If you don’t want to respond to a thread, keep scrolling. That’s my motto. I’m likely to start a thread about loading heavy cast Bullets for the 444 marlin. You guys who are offended by it are welcome not to respond. :p

There are no such things as scam websites that pretend to be legitimate sellers and steal people’s money? No truth at all in the claim? Everyone who posts a reloading recipe, anywhere on “the internet” is a legitimate hand loader with years of expertise just trying to be helpful. And you’re sure of that? Make fun and joke around just like the idiots on Reddit - or are you also one of those Redditers when not posting here? - and ignore the fact that digital data can be edited without a fingerprint, websites can be redirected, DNS caches can be poisoned. Make a big joke of it. Go ahead. Real funny stuff, ain’t it?

Ive spent a small fortune in reloading equipment. Im sure most of you have. Is it just me, or when some idiot that is too cheap to buy a reloading manuel (something you have no business reloading without) requests data for a very ubiquitous cartridge, you want to tell him to.... I dont think there is value in using my experience & resources helping a lazy cheap@zz.
Im pretty sure im not the only one. Thoughts?

I am curious if you are having your first experience with the internet.
 
Have you tried some of the online cooking recipes??? A lot are horrible concoctions of expensive ingredients!

As for reloading, y'all do know most of the major powder companies and some of the bullet companies have their complete manuals available for free as pdf download on their websites. Some like Alliant will even mail you a hard copy at no charge by simply asking for it. There is no shortage of reliable sources to be had. Everyone should have a few paper version on hand so they can bookmark and take notes of their experience.

When newbies ask what is likely a simple question, providing an answer with a link to some documents doesn't hurt neither.

I sure won't be offended by it, and I'll respond right now - make sure you can seat those heavy cast bullets deep enough in the cases so that the cartridges will work in your gun.
I once bought a lever action Marlin 444 Marlin that I planned on using my own, 300gr cast bullets in (just for fun) only to discover I couldn't seat the bullets deep enough in the cases so that the finished cartridges would work through the through the rifle's action. It was later on that someone told me I shouldn't be using cast bullets in a Marlin anyway - something about "micro-groove" riflings or something like that. o_O

Implicitly trusting information published on the internet is giving your life and faith to The Ministry of Truth.

Read “1984” sometime. THEN decide if you want to trust the Winston Smith’s of the future ... or is it the present?

Books can’t be retroedited. The Internet is retroedited constantly. RETCON’ing web content is the modern version of gas-lighting.

1984 is NOW!

I wish I would have the problem with heavy Bullets in a marlin but I’ll be shooting these in a handi-rifle.

I guess this is were my experience pays off some. Speer CPRN is a Copper Plated Round Nose bullet according to Speer. I would use Alliant's data for the Speer CPRN with a Berry's copper plated bullet of the same shape and weight or for that matter any other brand of plated RN 230 gr 45 cal bullet without much concern. Bullseye tolerates down loading just fine and a lot of experience with using Bullseye would have you fairly comfortable downloading below published max. Some powder don't like down loading Bullseye is not one of those. I have put thousands of rounds of both copper plate and polymer coated 230gr RN 45 ACP down range pushed by only 4.2 gr of Bullseye. Makes Major power factor nicely in my 625.

Reason I use this as an example is because I got involved in a discussion of this exact bullet. Looking at my 2 examples of 230grn plated Speer bullets, the CPRN bullet, and the TMJ RN bullet: Because I'm familiar with the Unique data, that's what I'll reference, but there are differences in most of the data, including Bullseye. Speer specifically offers data for the TMJ bullet but not the CPRN bullet, either online (I just checked) or in the #14. Using Alliant data, max load for the TMJ is 6.5grn Unique, all else being equal, including OAL, max load for the CPRN is a hefty 7.3grn. Even back in my Early Days I never went that high with any 230grn bullet, and I wouldn't do so now. I've gone as high as 6.9grn Unique, which was max in the Speer #11, and that was more than plenty. Alliant thought the CPRN bullet different enough to develop it's own data... to wit:

The TMJ is quite good quality, with a heavy copper coating. The CP bullets are a thinner plate designed for budget minded shooters. You should not expect the same performance from the two lines. We worked up load data for the CPRN/CPFP separately, which we felt was appropriate.

...that from Alliant Reloading's post, 1JUL21 here at THR.
 
Why buy the whole book when you only reload a small number of the cartridges in the book? Once you have the basics down for how to reload you just need data for the particular cartridges and more specifically the specific bullet in the specific cartridge you want to reload. I have a folders for each cartridge I reload. That folder contains print outs from online databases, articles on specific loads, workups in Quickloads, chrono data gathered for my testing, etc.

And to answer the OP question more directly. If I have data someone else wants I am usually happy to share it and help.

It’s good to have experience, and you are????

I too use Speer CPRN data for Berry’s & Extreme plated and would likewise for any other plated 230 RN unless mfr said do it differently. I don’t change with a TMJ or FMJ either (based on my experience). But until I saw the published Lyman data, no way would I have gone so low.

that Why I like Lee’s manual, gives you a rough safe idea were to start! as a reloader, you gotta test with a chrono and know what danger looks like

I don’t own a chrono and since I don’t load using unpublished data, don’t need one. I only load to shoot common stuff anyway and not to experiment that precisely.

But as for danger signs, I use as reference things I’ve seen in the internet.
