Hornady 10th edition

Does anyone have the hornady 10th edition manual yet? I need data for a 165gr SST using IMR 4451 powder.

Have you looked online? And excuse my question if it seems ignorant, but wouldn't the gr. Min and max for 4451 be about the same for any other manual listing 165gr bullets?

I have looked online and found some loads for other bullets that should be pretty close. This is my first time using this particular powder and I'd like to be sure I'm starting in the right place to work this load up. Hodgdon annual manual lists a 165gr Sierra SPBT.

Academy had it on the shelf but I didn't notice if it was 9th Ed or 10th. However, it was $29.

My Hornady is Volume II. LOL

You should defiantly get III thare are lots of updates. ;)I have 1 through 9. I guess I need to get 10 then I'll have them all again. Volume 3 has the hottest loads for 22 hornet ever published. Winchester 296 and a 45 grain Sierra soft point at 2900 fps.

Is there a particular volume with the best 220 Swift loads?

^^^^ IMR 4064 -- Nosler Partition 60 gr.

I need to look but I think the M77 Varmint liked 43 grains. = 4000+ FPS

Academy has the 9th Ed on the shelf.

I am not a reloading Jedi like some of you guys. But I never really pay attention to the max loads. I keep adding .5 grains until I see a pressure sign. Then back down a grain or so and write in my max load for my rifle. I usually find my accuracy nodes well under max load though.

I do about the same , start low and work up and stop when I see pressure signs

I just look at the max loads as a reference point of the upper end per that source. I generally start in the middle for hand guns and work up.

I have the 10th ed...what cartridge are you reloading for?

To be honest, I got a look at the 10th Ed and since I have the 9th, I am going to wait a couple of editions. I will get the Lyman 50th Ed that came out this year.

You mean you don't just fill the case with powder and tap the bullet down with a hammer? :escape:

Only if you are the dud inspector from Looney Toons.

I completely agree. There isn't much difference between the 9th and 10th. The Lyman 50th is fairly solid.
