New Hornady Powder manual

[Thomasss]

Any one see the new Hornady powder manual yet? What you think? What has been added?

I can't say I was blown away. I have the 9th. I think you should take a look for yourself and see if it will make a significant addition to your reloading library.

Take a look at the user images on Amazon, someone posted a pic of the rear cover, which details some of the additions. It also comes with a card giving access to their loading software (1 month? 3 months?). I haven't used it yet.

One thing they purport is more load data for powders newer to the market, like Shooter's World, but I would have to say they still don't have much in that regard. Something is better than nothing, I suppose.

I'm not trying to slam it, it is a good manual, it just doesn't add that much for my purposes.

I agree. I went from 7th to 10th and now 11th and can say I really was not overly overwhelmed. The jump from 7th to 10th was not that spectacular either so I should have grabbed something I have none of. I did grab my first Nosler one so I guess I was not totally let down.

Is there something specific you're looking for? They add a few cartridges and powders, but it's generally the same book

Can anyone tell me if there's much new pistol data using BE-86 and 300-MP? Those are two powders I really like, but data is pretty sparse.

I have the 10th. It does not get used much though. I'll skip on the 11th. Speers newest is the only one that list loads with sport pistol. So if you use that powder you may like it.

Not sure if you've checked it out, but Alliant has their data online:

Only noticed 300-mp for 1 bullet weight in 357mag. BE-86 seemed to be represented pretty well across the common stuff like 9mm, 40s&w and 45acp. Not sure what pistol calibers you run, hope that helps.

I have the new manual, I think it's great . I really like the fact they included Shooter's World powder data .

Sure have. But the more data the better.
