Loaddata.com
Has anyone had experience with this service? Looking for input before I pull out the credit card.
Sounds like it could be a compilation of all the loading books, which would be a bargain...

WiNdTeChI was looking at it aswell.... really tho, I dont see a reason for it, I only used a loading manual as a quick reference for bullet weights/power weight... i see no reason to use other people loads... plus it's fun to come up with your own... try
http://www.reloadersnest.com/rifle.asp i have put my own loads on there...
Another compilation of load data from many different sources is a book called
One Book / One Caliber. It has most of the bullet manufacturer and powder manufacturer data in it for your particular caliber. I get them at my local store.
Thanks..How do you post a pic. I wanted to share my 204 reloads workup...

kennedyI don't see the need. If you need or want a certain load ask the guys here.

LongwalkerBeware of Loaddata! They will automatically renew your subscription unless you tell them not to! Very presumptuous of them. I do not EVER want to give another company permission to do that. I had quite a long discussion with them about their renewal policy and they were not nice about it. So I instructed them to cancel my subscription.
I use Loaddata weekly. Cheaper than buying all the books and safer than using Internet "experts' advice. I havent had a problem and they sent me an e-mail 10 days before they renewed it that said if I didn't want them to do it to call them. In fact I pulled some .375 H&H loads today of from the site. I just let it renew I use it enough. I like to print the pages and put them in binders for my rifles. They had the new Nosler book loads before I saw it in stores. Just my 2 cents but I like the service.

homebrewerA boatload of information, all for free...
http://stevespages.com/page8a.htmSome poo-poo Steve's reloading data, but you can take it or leave it. If nothing else, it's a good place to start with a starting load. I take the middle of his high and low values and go from there...

onefunzr2I quit loaddata.com after finding that a lot of the data was exactly what I already had in my printed load manuals. A lot of the data was out of date, that is, obsolete powders, bullets not made anymore, etc. What a waste of $$$!!!
They are part of the Wolfe Publishing empire and just like Rifle and Handloader magazines, have gone down the crapper in quality in the last few years.
