need a good online source for loading data

[rondog]

Can anybody recommend a good place online for loading data, for various calibers and powders?



I have some Speer 90 gr. JHP .380 bullets I want to load up with Win 231, and my Lee book doesn't have a listing for that. It has 90 gr. Jacketed, but no listing for Win 231, that book has a LOT of discrepancies like that.



So anyway, I need a good online source. Thanks!

Here are a few powder distributer that carry online data. Please remember that any loads from the web should be checked against printed data references.

Which manual(s) do you have?

www.alliantpowder.com
www.hodgdon.com
www.lapua.com/reloading.html
www.westernpowders.com

rondog,
On the Hodgdon Load Data Site they list a 90gr Hornady JHP bullet and W231. BTW, if for some reason W231 isn't listed you can use the HP-38 data since both powders are EXACTLY the same.

Sometimes, not always, the reason a powder isn't listed for a certain bullet in a certain caliber is because it's not a good or sometimes not a safe choice. In this case I highly doubt that's the reason because W231 is a very good choice in the .380 Auto.

In addition to the sources posted above, LOADDATA.COM is a tremendous resource. The membership is reasonable (equivalent to 1 load manual) and you have access to virtually all vetted & published load data as well as, that from Handloader Magazine and other sources. Nothing takes the place of printed load manuals but having all the data available at your computer is very nice. FWIW, all the data is available in "printer friendly" format as well as HTML.

A cross reference is always wise when useing data from a unknown person on the web.

Good enough to be listed amongst the references used for The Ammo Encyclopedia, by Michael Brussard. And a favorite

- I agree.
