I had heard great things about the 3rd edition of this book, particularly that it listed loads for tons of different bullets by different manufacturers.
Upon ordering and receiving the 4th edition, I was underwhelmed, to say the least, by the paltry selection of lead bullets they offered data for, and the paltry selection of powders in each entry.
I was looking for good load data in 7.62x54R, 9mm luger and .38 special.
In 38 special, the only 158 grain load was a RNFP, not a SWC!
Does the older version have better load data and bullet selection? I feel like I got better data out of the Lee manual, which is kind of sad...
Specifically, I was looking at the Lee TL-356-124-TC using red dot/promo. Nobody seems to have much data for it...
