Accurate Arms Powder Data

[ChuckS1]

Was just over on the Accurate Arms website and they've changed the reloading data. Now all they have is a PDF with limited .38 Special loads.

Does anybody have the previous .38 Special data they would care to share? Recently somebody uploaded two pages .44 Special data. I would sure appreciate the .38 Special data for 158 grain LSWC and the 173 grain LSWC using AA#5.
Thanks.

Ignatz did you right.

Here is a link to their old data pages.

I hope they don't remove them, I like the older stuff!

Let's see if this works-

OK, it didn't set up as a graph, but if you look at it you can see what is what. The first load in the row is a starting load, followed by a max load, then pressure, then OAL

Thanks, guys. This was exactly what I was looking for. Let me know if I can return the favor.

What kind of firearms do you have there that you could let me borrow?

(No problem!)

 

[Blue Brick]

Does anyone have a downloadable copy of the Accurate Arms 38 Special PDF?

 

[jepp2]

This is version 3.2.2 downloaded in December 2008 (about the right time frame). Is this what you were looking for?

 

[Blue Brick]

No, the one I was looking for was 38 only. I found my 45 Colt one, but can't find the 38 one. Thanks.

 

[ArchAngelCD]

The .38 load data is in the full document linked to above.

 

[Blue Brick]

Yes I saw that, but the list I was looking for was the 38 special "only" and it was more extensive than the posted list. No biggie. Thx.
