Help with Hornady Load Date - 6th or 7th Edition
I understand that the Hornady 6th or 7th Edition reloading manual has data for reloading 5.6x50R Magnum cartridges. If someone has a copy and can scan the appropriate pages for me I would appreciate it. PM me for my e-mail address to send the data to.

Thanks.

Dave

Found this on the net. It quotes Hornady data but suggest would be best verified compared to authentic Hornady data. Hopefully of some help anyway.

Hornady 3rd has data for the 5.6 x 50mm Magnum (rimless version) not the rimmed version. Could scan and send if any help.

The Chuck Hawks load data in the above link provided by 30.06king matches the max data in the "Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading, Eight Edition".

Thank you, Eagle27. There isn't supposed to be any difference between loads for the rimmed and rimless versions. I will PM you with my e-mail address.

For info, Hornady has 5.56x50 Magnum data in every manual from at least Manual 5 thru the latest manual #9. All the data and info in each is exactly the same from 5-9 manuals. All data is for the rimless version. Hornady says the rimless was created in 1970 and data is the same for both rimmed and rimless? The rimmed was developed for break open actions for rifles in Europe? PM sent
