The website is holding thousands of pieces of data to tell us where to start a powder charge, as well as max powder charge for thousands of combinations of cartridges, bullet weights, and a variety of powders for each cartridge.

Good stuff. It even gives the pressure. Thanks.

Might as well list a few more online manufacture reloading data sources that are free.

I use it a lot. When I'm home and reloading, that is.

Is there a change in the website or something new I don't see?

No. All the time people are asking about start and max charges for common powders, common cartridges, and common bullet weights. All the answers they need are right there on Hodgdon's website. This thread was directed more toward new hand loaders that may not have known about Hodgson's site.

Might as well get this one up as its pretty good.

Well done kmon1 and DStroud!

If this doesn't become a sticky, we'll just have to keep bumping it.

Already thought of thought of that. We have a technical reference links sticky. Will add it to that once we have full links listed. Most of those are in the tips and tricks thread already.

Adding vihtavuori Data

That is my favorite reply for those threads. I started a thread awhile back that basically said what you said. Apparently it didn't take root.

You're not as cool as me.

Cool is as cool does.

Yea, it shows max charges...

Seems like I start my loads above some of their max charges now.

I remember when I went to your range with the starting charges, lol.

It Must be, o master.

It's a good idea to look at bullet manufacturer's sites too.

For instance, Hodgdon's only load for .224 75 grain uses a VLD bullet which lessens the amount of powder you can get in the case compared to an A-max.

Another trick I've found is to google reloading manual data of the bullet you want, then search images. People post screenshots of their manuals.

Link to this thread added to the sticky in this section "LINKS To Technical Reference Threads: "

Excellent

Here are some links I have discovered over the years. It's best to remember that some of these sites allow users to post loads and that some people are plain crazy. If nothing else, it's interesting. Some of these links DO give you published data, though.

It’s a valiant effort but within a month someone will ask for load data on a common round.

Fact

rumor

Hodgdon is out of business. Their powder is being made overseas now. Just something I thought I read. You cant even spell their name

They own several other powders, like IMR and Winchester. With the way Australia is going will we ever see any from there again and several Hodgdon powders are made there.
