Hello guys,

I do reloading for my three rifles at home and I have been using Sierra and Lyman's reloading manuals. I would like to get my hands on sections of Hornady and Nozler reloading manuals if possible.

I do reloading for my 243, 270 and 30.06 rifles. If anyone out there has Hornady and Nozler reloading manauls and would like to share those three sections out of the book in PDF format that would be great. I don't want to spend more money on two more manauls.

It's much appreciated, I only need those three sections of the books in pdf format.

Thanks guys once again!!
 
Yep can't seem to find it, the places I find it is paid ones so it doesn't make any sense me buying something online when I can buy it from store. Just thought I will post in case someone has it in PDF format and could share it with me.

Thanks anyways

I have many manuals and if you dont mind a little advice Hodgdons has a very good website with loading data. You can have hundreds of manuals but if you notice Hodgdons is selling a very large percentage of the powder made in North America and all loading data is within a few grains of each other.

That being said when I want quick reloading data I pick up the Hodgdons Reloading Annual Manual "FIRST" and "might" check the other manuals "BUT" cross checking is seldom done. (it is the same data at the Hodgdons website) http://www.hodgdon.com/

If you still need the info I have the Hornady (2007) and Nosler (1996) manuals.

Please notice below all the pressure data is at or below 43,000 cup, also please note the Enfield rifle is actually "rated" at 45,000 cup. The reason for this is because factory loaded ammunition for the .303 British is "down loaded" to 43,000 cup or less due to the "older" Enfields still being shot today. Bottom line, Hodgdons data is very good and you will never go wrong using it.

Thanks for the info about hodgdon's manual, I will get a full copy of that manual I guess, but would still love to have the sections for those other manuals I mentioned. It's all aobut cross referencing while loading.

I have sent you a PM, cheers!
 
There is limited Nosler data on their site. Hornady doesn't put their data on-line. They want you to buy their manual. Both really want you to buy their manual and will only have data for their products. All powder and bullet maker's books are like that.
Your Lyman book has more loads using more powders and bullet weights than any powder and bullet manufacturer's book.
Alliant puts their data on-line in .pdf format. Doesn't have data for all of their powders for all bullet weights though.
"...Hodgdons has a very good website..." Yep. In addition to their own powders, they own/sell IMR and Winchester powders.
In any case, with the exception of Barne's bullets(most are solid copper and fly differently than lead cored bullets. Solid copper isn't as dense as a lead cored bullet. Their on-line data is limited too.), you load for the bullet weight. Who made it doesn't matter.
 
Thanks guys for all the info, guess I will just go and buy a Hornady manual since nobody seems to have it or want to share online. The only reason I am using Hornady because I have used mostly other bullets and my guns seem to like Hornady bullets specialy my 243. My 243 is one gun that didn't like a lot of powder types and also bullet types. I finally found the correct powder and bullet combination that has made my 243 perfect with grouping of 1/4" at 100 yards.

Cheers for the help.
