    Found this site by accident. Thought I'd share it.
    As always start low and work your way up.

    It also has a forum.

    Thanks. I tried to find a few of my favorite pistol loads in 9mm, .45 ACP and .44 Mag. and they weren't listed. They don't even have 2400 powder listed for .44 Magnum. I was a little disappointed. I guess they can't have everything.

    I ran across it looking for a 45acp 250gr hard cast load. I've never tried it, but I heard it's a decent load for a slow hard hitting bowling pin gun.
    I was looking it up after remembering a conversation I had with a friend 30+ years ago.
    They did have several loads listed and a few had velocity over 850fps.


    Edit:
    I believe this site just started up last year. It looks like you can add loads to it somehow.

    Need to check it out more.

    I have loaded some of my cast 454424’s in .45acp and .45AR for my 625 smith. I got the load from Taffin’s Book of the .45. I will look it up for you if you’d like. I also was just reading an article in handloader by Brian Pierce about +P loads in .45 AR. I was reading it in print but I think it’s available online as well.

    Yes I'd appreciate it.
    The more information the better.

    I had a thought that with so many of us out here, many have loads worked up in multiple calibers, and while adjusting this or tweaking that is part of the fun, we have some folks who don't really know where to start and are a little intimidated by the whole process and could use some guidelines that have the opportunity for feedback instead of the books that offer only what's written. We've all seen the advice to buy at least two reloading manuals, to have components be the last thing you buy, etc., but those manuals don't always answer noob questions.

    So.... In that spirit, those of you who have really good, reliable loads and are willing to share, post 'em up! Please include all relevant information:
    OAL, seating depth, powder type and quantity, case headstamps (if they matter) primer manufacturer and size, bullet manufacturer and weight, finished cartridge weight, what kind of press you're using, and for which firearm(s) you're loading (and other info you might think relevant as well.)

    Also, you might include how you came upon this "recipe"; did you start low and work your way up to this, just hit on it just right, etc.

    For those who are using the information, if you have a question about a load, post it up for those too shy to do so, but drop the member a PM also, so they don't miss your question. (Remember: There is only one "dumb question: "Is it loaded?" which is dumb only because Rule #1 tells us that they're all loaded!)

    Finally, if you find a particular load to be to your liking, make sure to thank the person who posted it. Rep is usually appreciated, as is a short PM.

    Blessings,
    Bill
    Thanks Bill!
