and then there's that whole typo thing - you always need some kind of published data to verify any posted load data against.  Its not hard for someone with dyslexia to turn a 25.4 gr load into a 52.4 gr load and not even realized they did it.  now while that's an obvious change and you could never put that in a case... what happens if its a 25.1 gr load thats supposed to be 21.5 grains?  a simple oops like that can be DEADLY.



i'm not saying its all bad, but especially for inexperienced reloaders, its rarely wise to grab someone's pet load off the web and just use it and assume its going to be safe.



and that's where the true value of a commercially published reloading manual will really show its worth.




anyway, is there anyone reading this that doesnt believe that $30 worth of reloading data isnt worth an eye, finger, or worse?
