Trying to track down a reloading web site.

Getting back to reloading, but cannot find a web site I visited often a few years ago.

The site was very exhaustive, searchable by powders, bullets diameters and bullet weights, or calibers. Handgun or rifle.

It had many notes of the reloader, and all details that they uploaded.

Powders were listed in order on home page as well as calibers in numerical order. US calibers then metric. Bullets listed by diameter.

Searching took place from one of those indices and narrowed as needed from that point.

The home page mentioned the highest velocity was the .22/243 Middlestead at about 5k fps. The most powerful rifle was mentioned was the .577 Tyrannosaur. This info was on the left of home page. No pics, just info.

One example load I remember was a .20 Practical, shooting .204 34gr HP Nightmare bullets over wc844 or 846 powders, surplus 5.56 brass on a Savage action with very small groups.

A very thorough site.... Site was independent, not part of a larger site.

However, it has been a few years since I visited the site.

Anyone have an idea of the site?

Hope it isn't this site because it's gone from the internet. Reloaders Nest. It sounds like it's the site you're asking about? It was very searchable and interesting.

"Reloader's Nest is a resource for all handloaders seeking the ultimate load. Browse trough thousands of loads, even in the oddest and rarest caliber. Now you will also find a lot of reloading hardware and reviews of all the equipment you use during reloading."
You can search for it but only will find everyone asking what happened to it.
 
I think www.reloadersnest.com is correct.

Was a great site.

I assume the info contained therein is lost.

Thanks, I never would have remembered the domain.

I highly recommend the Lyman Reloading Handbook.

I would side with those who say do not use data you found on the internet!
 
ReloadersNest.com was renewed until 1 Jan 2018, through DNC Holdings, Inc. of Metairie, LA last December, but has not been since. The site was there one day and gone the next. Sad thing it is too. Even with all the unverified over max loads listed. Wasn't exactly 100% reliably safe.
loaddata.com is a pay site. Steve's is a collection of data from powder maker's site with no cast and jacketed split.
Your best bet is the assorted powder maker's sites.
