Oddly enough, I was looking at Hornet data today, in my copy of Pet Loads.

The powders Ken Waters used aren't always available today, like Winchester 680, from that issue, anyway, but it was still useful in many ways, comparing .223" vs. .224" bullets, etc.

I still find a lot of that stuff useful, just like JB's very practical and useful tips we still get. I am always hoping to learn something new, or relearn something old.
I often refer to the book when answering questions from others about rifles/cartridges I have no experience with, too. Some stuff you can't get easily from other sources, where in hell am I going to find a Speer #4 nowadays?


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
