What are some of your favorite go-to manuals for older hotter loads?
I have manuals from several sources dating back to the 60's. However I don't load "hot". There is a reason some loads have been reduced in the newer manuals. If you can't achieve the velocity you want with current data, switch to a cartridge with more powder capacity.


I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
