Lyman Load Data books
Does anyone know if these "pamphlet" load data books have more data than the Lyman manual?? I have the current Lyman manual but am tempted to pick one of these up in a future order.

I just picked up the revolver version out of curiosity. It has a fair amount of data for the four calibers it covers, including for Lee cast bullets! If all you want is loading data for just the cartridges in the specific book it is a good deal. Makes more sense than buying their $28 book for just one or two cartridges.

I picked up their 38, 357, 44, 45 colt data booklet........
Lots of loads with lots of info........
did notice that they dropped w231 and Unique from some of the 38 loadings when you went to the next size up bullet?
Some "Standard" powders are not listed in the larger bullet loadings.........but one powder from most companies are listed.
for the price it is well worth getting.............just for the BC, SD and OAL of each bullet used !!

But don't forget that Lyman has their CAST bullet manual so with the regular Version and the Cast Version I would think you have all data Lyman has published.
I can not say what those little ones have as I never bought one, but regular manuals have much more info other than just recipes or load data.
These two have you covered.

The little $6.50 data booklet has BOTH.............
Lead and JHP loadings.
On the cover it states.............
"The largest selection of powders and components found anywhere".
"Nuck, Nuck, Nuck"..........
Do you believe sales Hype ?? !!
