Is it worth getting. I have #8 along with RCBS, Lyman and Lyman cast. I will probably get it anyway as I like books/manuals. but is #9 substantially better than the previous.?? Yes, it has some new calibers that I do not load but it does have 327 Federal Mag which I do.

Well it rock my world for $30:)

Anyone have it and recommend it?
 
My vote is no, not happy with it at all, 6.5x55 data was only for 100 year old small ring Mauser pressures, 270 WSM data was so limited it is simply laughable, 30-06 data was the same as everwhere else, and they did not include the heavy A-Max in their load data for the 06 or 300WSM, 308 data was so wimpy it I would not shoot it even if it would group and last but not least many of the cartridge bullet combinations they basically just tell you to figure it out yourself because they did not bother to test it. Great bullets but piss poor half ass loading manual and I told them as much, only good thing about it was it included some new calibers and powders not available before. No pet load data like Nosler 7 or Lyman 49 either and that kinna urks me off.
