Hodgdon makes improvements to it's Reload Data Center!

[K-C]

This new Hodgdon feature is a dream-come-true for me and I'm certain, many of you also.

From time to time, I peer into my powder cabinet and see a powder that I haven't used in some time and ponder about what I could use it for (a sign of old age creeping on). Sometime the label gives me a hint or two but not always.

Hodgdon has now added reloading data to the description page of each of its individual powders. So now you can just go to the relevant page, click on the "Cartridge (Required)" drop-down menu and PRESTO, there is the full list of cartridges appropriate for that specific powder.

Pick your cartridge and then choose a bullet weight from the second menu and finally click on the "GET RELOAD DATA" red button - your data appears below. You can also email and print the data to pdf as in the main Reloading Data Center.

Pick a powder from this link and try it yourselves:

This feature is not yet available at IMR or Winchester but give it time - it's bound to happen sooner or later.

I'm a happy camper as I have a dedicated notebook PC on my reloading bench.

Hope this helps you folks out!

Good service.

One of the problems I see is that a newbie looks in the manual and sees 9 powders listed for his caliber and bullet and thinks that any of the powders is fine for his needs. He can't tell that TiteGroup is best for medium power accuracy loads and Blue Dot is best for max velocity loads.

I see guys buying 296 for medium power load applications, and there are much better choices - like Universal.
