A buddy gave me some old Hornady bullets. He's phasing out of metallic case reloading. So I'm looking around for loads for them, and realize that Hornady does not give that data away, they charge for it. Never ran into that before in the reloading world, but it is what it is.
So I start looking at buying their reloading handbook or getting the app. I look at their tease pages and see that they lump a lot of stuff together. Like 5-6 bullets of different types (all the same weight/caliber) all having the same loading data. I called their customer support, and they confirmed that's the way they do it. I'm used to each bullet having it's own recipes. Pretty generic stuff there. Seems like I could pull any recipe for any Hornady bullet from sites like Hodgdon and use it for all Hornady bullets of that same caliber and weight.
What am I missing? I have several reloading books, and am not opposed to owning more. But this one may not be worth the price.
