    By no means would I consider this an end-around for buying reloading manuals, everyone should own at least 2 or 3, if not more. Cartridges of the World is also a good reference, but some of the load data out there, especially for our weird old stuff, is kind of guesswork. Some data you'll find is based on a reduced load for something else well-known. With a healthy give and take, we can share real-world stuff we've tried out, in real time, which is better than any manual can do.

    In some cases, different rifles will experience different results with the same loads, so it's always good to have a second opinion, especially when it's from someone who didn't die 50 years ago. I will propose that if this were to come about, that we keep fairly strict on topic. If we want to discuss, say, what brand, etc, that should go in the regular reloading section, or be discussed between users via PM, so as not to turn it into another version of the reloading forum in another area. And for god's sake don't go in there and tell them you have anything but a Dillon press! They'll eat you alive.

      So the question is if you post in the regular reloading section "Hey, anybody know anything about reloading 7.65 Argentine" would you get a decent response or not? Or is that even necessary since it's pretty much exactly the same as loading any similarly sized caliber. .311 in the front, powder I use the same load as for Garands, brass you can buy or you can size and trim .30-06. Know who spends the most time sizing and trimming brass using the exact same technique? 300 BLK shooters. It's exactly the same going from .30-06->Argentine as it is going from .223->300 BLK.

      Sounds like you really want is a private "no idiots may apply" reloading forum which I totally get but it's easy enough to scroll past the "red or blue press" threads. If it was a high volume forum it might be different but it isn't.
