Sierra 4th edition... anybody have one?

[sillymike]

Looking for someone with the 4th edition of the Sierra loading manual... seems like it's one of the only manual with load data for the 7mm US (or 7mm ultimate silhouette)... and one of the few manuals I don't have

Thanks,

Mike.

So what's wrong with Sierra's 5th ed?

Found it under the Single Shot Pistol section in the 5th ed manual i got.

7mm US SSP (Single shot pistol)

100 HP, 120 SPT, 140 SBT and SPT, 150 SBT and HPBT MK

Any particular info you wanna know?

It's in the 5th, good I'll go and get one.

I am looking for the starting load data for 140-150gr SBT bullets.

Thanks,
Mike.

**You would be stupid to not look up this published data for yourself as I do not take responsibilty for typos nor if you take this which is for INFORMATION ONLY and blow your pretty padded behind off**

With that said, yes its in the sierra 5th ed but its under the Single Shot Pistol section, not the pistol or rifle section. It actually took me a while to find this data! I was going to say how silly it would be for them to exclude the data going from 4th ed to 5th ed! I also find personally that Sierra's data is on the ultra-low end of the scale. I have routinely gone past their max loads while referencing Lee, Lyman and Hornady's data. Your milage may vary.

Slushee,

I much appreciate you taking the time to copy the information over! Yes, I'll double check it (and order a 5th edition of the manual for myself )

in the mean time, this pretty much coraborate the information from E.A. Brown website, so I guess this should be a good starting point.

Sierra Manual

I have the previous Sierra manual (individual page loose leaf style). Given the format is there an way to purchase pages for the newer cartridges? Thanks for any advice.
