Interesting load data site

[bigbossman]

I just stumbled on this site:

http://castpics.net/dpl/

All kinds of good new and historical load data for most cartridges, as well as archived old loading manuals and other useful information.

As an example, under the tab "Reloader's Reference" I selected "Cast Bullet Data Lookup", chose "38/40" in the drop-down menu, and was presented with the table below. A virtual treasure trove of loading data, and exportable as either a csv or printer friendly HTML table.

Yeah, and you can search for loads by powder type and other criteria. Sure makes finding a starting point a lot easier. That "Reloader's Reference" tab is chock-full of useful tools. Want to see an Alcan manual from 1966? It's there. Need surplus powder loads? It's there. Shot-shell? Wind drift? All there...................

bookmarked.

Yeah, that is a good site. It seems to be centered on cast bullets. More specifically, I THINK it is centered on the NOE molds and a guy named The Swede who will run group buys over at castboolits.gunloads.whatever it is called. I only go there for the porn and the PC sharing.

Speaking of porn, heh, it is like this incredible e-book site that I found that will allow you to download 2GB of ebooks per day, unless you change your ip address then I think you can get more, but it is crazy to see what they have, Oh man, entire collections of magazines from all over the world + a lot of GOOD info packed CRC books and others. Good stuff. I grabbed about 18 cookbooks before I started going after top ramen and chinese cook books... SWEET STUFF!

Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten about that sight, as evidence I didn't suggest it on your 38/40 thread the other day. Excellent source for starting points and sanity checks.

[Cheep]

Wow! That's a great site.

So Stilly, you tell us about a great site but don't tell us what it's called or post a link???
