sigman2 · #1 11-16-2013, 06:30 PM

I added more sites and also cleaned it up to make it more user friendly.
Hope it helps.

Folks always seem to be looking for info on reloading and ammo. This may help guide them to answers.

I just happened to be cleaning out my "Favorites".
Here are some links to info on reloading and ammo.
Lots and lots and lots of information... and this is just some of my reloading and ammo favorites.
Happy browsing!

Very nice, thank you!

Those sites are good to augment ones use of a relaible reloading manual. They are not sole source for reloading info.

Novices read these pages and are prone to reach for the internet vs. reaching for a reloading manual. They get into minefields doing that

Front Line · #7 11-18-2013, 06:32 PM

I liked that. Just spent an hour going to the sites.

I updated my posting, added a powder site and moved two of the load data sites to the FYI list.

The first four sites are from the actual powder manufactures and the fifth contains actual pages from Sierra's manual on .223 loads. All of these contain manufacturer published data.
