A couple of years ago, I bought my first 38-55. Guess where I went to find some loading info? My 2 1/2" thick Pet Loads had loads for several pressure levels.

The thing I liked was that KW didn't go through the tedium of "Yesterday, I tried primer X and this morning I tried primer Y; then this afternoon I tried primer Z", etc. KW generally boiled it down the basics of what worked best in his rifle ((I guess that's where he (or KH?) came up with the name "Pet Loads")) and in later articles gave examples of those that didn't and some idea of WHY those loads weren't acceptable so the reader didn't waste time trying them.
