Maybe I should buy ken Water's "Pet Loads," just his hand-loading insights.
Yes and no. A lot of the powders and bullets that Waters used have been discontinued, a lot of new products have been introduced, and many others (like the Nosler Ballistic Tip) have been substantially upgraded. His books offer a lot of insight into the problems of loading for specific older cartridges like the 35 Remington, but they're a lot less useful now than they were 10-15 years ago.
