General reloading data source?

[Kevin242]

I'm wanting to find some reloading data for .25-06 and .30-06. I've been given some partial boxes of bullet brands that I haven't used before (Speer, Sierra) and would like to find a source for load data. I hate to buy a brand-specific loading manual for 20-30 loads only to find they don't perform the way I want in my firearm.

Any recommendations for online sources?

I use The Hodgdon site, but I have a few manuals as well.

Nosler has theirs online. I was able to find some Sierra data by googling it as well.

Hodgedon on line is bullet specific but I think a lot of reloaders treat it as generic. Just start at the minimums. When my particular pill is different I like to peruse the interweb or other manuals I have at home, comparing bullet weights to see who lists the lowest starting charge. I feel that's a safe starting point.

Sierra load data is available on line. You might have to dig a bit. Load data is given by caliber and product code.

I'm a big fan of Sierra bullets. They tend to be cheap and accurate and perform well and I can typically find what I want in stock.

I have an old Sierrareloading book at home unfortunately I won't be their for a few days.

Sierra will send a PDF for a calibre if you e-mail them. Have done this a couple times for bullets I couldn't find data for.

Get the reloaders assistance app. It's free on the play store (I think android only). Basically a compilation of data. Highly recommended. But as always verify your data thru multiple sources.

I am using a powder that isn't in many books yet so I have to get my general data from the IMR/Hodgdon site. I am using IMR 4166. I use it for the 308 win right now and I am going to try it in 243 win as well.

Have you tried loaddata.com tons of info on there, unfortunately it's not free.

I don't mind paying for data, it's just that I hate to have to buy a manual just to try a couple of bullet weights from that manufacturer. I'll look into this site. Thanks.
