I recently replied to a post and in that reply I referenced and linked to stevespages.com.
https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/2073586-6-5x55mm-sacrificing-150-200fps-for-significant-group-savings/page4

Since then I received a call from a friend who is also a member on this forum. He said that he checked out StevesPages.com and was impressed and he was surprised that he didn't already know about it because it's been out there for so long. Anyways after that phone call I thought I would post this so more people had a chance to check out stevespages.com

Definitely read Steve's disclaimer page! It contains very important information!
http://stevespages.com/page8c.htm

"The data contained here is for copper-jacketed with lead-core bullets. It can be used with lead bullets and solid bullets (but YOU must take into consideration the composition and construction of the bullet). It is not designed to be used with coated bullets of any type. If you are intent on using coated bullets, buy yourself the reloading manual published by the bullet manufacturer!" Steve

Select your caliber from Steve's caliber page: http://stevespages.com/page8a.htm and you will find many different loads for many projectile weights using many different powders, it's a great resource.

The one thing to remember about Steve's pages is the Steve Ricciardelli died about 4 years ago and it looks like the data hasn't been updated.

Yes thanks that is an important point that I forgot to mention. These days the website is maintained by Chris Hayes. I agree it does look like the load data has not been updated since Steve passed away.

I recall viewing his website and believe that many, if not all, load data, is cited from current reloading manuals. I crossed referenced several loads which were identical to the Nosler manual. For the most part, I believe that this load data will be on the safe side.
 
"his" data was always just pulled from various sources (Hodgdon Hornady Nosler Sierra etc) and lumped into one big range of charge weights.

When questioned about how he come with the data, he would always claim it was all his own data. Use caution, including starting too low in charge weight with slower burn rate powders. Begging for a Kaboom
