Long time, no see

This is why I always kinda shake my head when I read a post asking for other peoples recipes.  If you are asking for 2007 Alliant data, that is one thing.  Shadow often posts up scans of old reloading literature.  This is often very useful if you have powder from that era, as sometimes powder changes a bit throughout different batches.

But just asking if anyone has a recipe for something seems to be begging either for a load that won't work in your gun, or a typo to cost you a gun and possibly your hands and eyes.

I am also often shocked at the guys that will spend 1K on a Dillon press with every gizmo, but can't be bothered to buy even one reloading manual.

Um, I always thought the reloading manuals were supposed to be the purchase BEFORE the press...  I too shake my head when I see those post on other forums!

Man thats not a bad price. I would be in for a set if I were able to choose the specific set. It looks like there is a very wide variety in how much detail each set has.

Just tell him what you want and he will do his best. He sent me three emails prior to starting to make sure he had exactly what I wanted.

Direct from hodgdon 180grXTP 8.5 start 9.4 max Longshot

7.4 is for the .40sw

I went and looked at the Hodgdon website, and sure enough 8.5-9.5 grains of Long shot.  This is a good example of differences in data between companies.  I have attached a picture from the Hornady 8th Edition manual and is where I got my info.  Using a Lee Turret press with the Auto disk powder measure, my loads I made the other day 7.8 grains Longshot.
