As most of you know, I'm planning on gettin started reloading for my 7mm RM sometime soon. Instead of buying a lot a different loading manuals to start out, I was wondering if this would work:

Someone takes a picture of the 7mm RM reloading data pages, then posts it on this discussion, and what book it is from. Hopefully I could end up with lots of loads for me and everyone to use, from all the different manuals, without having to spend the money on all the different manuals. Thanks for any replies!

Why don't you just buy a Loadbook for the 7mm RM it has all the data for that caliber in one book costs about $10

There is a lot to be learned from reading those books! If you're just getting started, I think you should read at least one, cover to cover first... JMO!

Tyler,

Go to each Powder Manus website.

They have loads listed for their powders and most of them match the manuals or come very close. I'd rather take data from the powder manu than the bullet manufacturer anyhow.

Very simple and cheap. I have load books but I also have files filed w/ print out from the Powder Manu's sites.

Good Luck

Taking a photo of indivbidual pages and posting them on a web site might get someone into copyright infringement trouble! If your going to reload, get a good mannual. Get several!

Here's Hodgdon's and IMR's data for the 7 Mag:

Tyler you should buy a reloading manual and read the "how to" section a couple times. There are things that will need to be deeply engrained so you start out with good habits.

When first starting out you need to follow load data that is verified from the manufacture (bullet or powder) and start with starting loads!

I have tons of data but it's an accumulation of not only notes and books, but web data.

One of the best sources to help you is Steves Pages. His data seems to be copied from manuals mostly. Some are hot, but he has warnings and other info you should check out as well.

I have several manuals but the Lyman probably has the best tutorial. Well....maybe the Hornady. Anyway, you get the idea. Nate Steve's pages

I hadn't considered that.....I've done it many times.

I think the only time one gets into trouble is if he sells the data or represents it as his own.....not sure here...

I've read the ABC's of Reloading and all the editions of Reloader's Digest several times over, plus all the magazines I can get my hands on. I guess I'll go to the manufacturer's websites.
