Load data subscription

[BennyS]

Anyone subscribe to ammo guide.com interactive load data guide. Dependable? Worth the price?

 

[Keith44]

Personally I do not. There are just too many other sources that I trust, are either free public access (via internet) or available in book and booklet form. These paper copies are usually easier for me to find what I am looking for. As for internet based load data, free load data from both bullet and powder manufacturers (most of them) is readily available.

So IMHO no not worth it.

I agree with Keith44, just pick a powder or bullet manufacturer and go to their load data site. In addition, I'm a fan of handloads.com.

Handloads.com is great, BUT, I always verify the data with manufacturer data... At least to be sure its reasonable with the powder/bullet combo shown. Even though they do say all data posted is verified with known good data.

As Keith44 stated, there's just too much data out there for free to bother paying a site just because they put it all in one place on the web.

Most manufacturers even have downloadable manuals now also

Hodgdon has free load data. Hodgdon Reloading | Home

Why pay when you can get the same information free?

If you can find one.................
a load manual for your caliber by Lyman has lots of great data.

My latest was the 38, 357, 44 mag, 45 colt manual for only $6.50.

The way I see it, Unless they have a proper ballistics lab, to include a universal receiver, it's not worth the money.
they only have you paying for a service you can, and should do yourself.
That is, compile data from known sources that DO have proper labs.
