I got a message a couple of weeks ago about the new 2024 Hodgdon reloading manual would soon be available on a certain day. So I ordered one on the very day it came out. I've been wondering about some of the new powders that have come out in the last few years and what kind of performance they would bring.
My reasons for handloading are because I can't find ammo readily available for some of the guns I shoot and if I do it's expensive and loaded with loads I'm not in favor of. Imagine if you will when I finally get my new manual and it doesn't have load data for 250-3000 Savage, 300 Savage, 7X57 Mauser, 8X57 Mauser, 458 Win mag or even 44 spl. If you are into all the newer cartridges (Legends, Buckhammers) it has them but for me it's a waste of time and money.
