Hey Guys,
If anyone has old manuals (IMR, Hercules, Hodgdon) can you scan and email a copy of some data to me. I have been searching online for print copies. I have access (obviously) to the new data of the various website. Looking to load some 55gr LC - M193 projectiles with some "antique" powder as it was so elequently put 
It's still good clean viable powder Any help will do, Thanks |

Which gunpowders? You'll be sorry you asked, 
Looking for .223 data 55gr FMJ projectile M193 (and I know a few are good for 30.06 and .308 IIRC I'm not there yet.) Not looking for 5.56 pressures, just accuracy. The challange is new powder load data vs. old powder load data (Hercules 2400 vs. Aliant 2400) I know start 10% below but below what??? Du Pont IMR 4227 IMR 4064 IMR 4895 IMR 4198 IMR 3031 Hodgdon 4380 BLC #2 Hercules 2400 Reloader 11 Reloader 7

Du Pont IMR 4227 Too fast IMR 4064 Too slow IMR 4895 Use currect data IMR 4198 Use currect data IMR 3031 Use currect data Hodgdon 4380 Think you mean 4350 which is way way too slow BLC #2 Use currect data Hercules 2400 Reduced loads only Reloader 11 ? Reloader 7 Use currect data http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff170/perimedik/Powders/Powder001.jpg |

Here is a IMR Handloaders Guide no longer produced. Note that they say reduce 10% and work up. They have a rifle, pistol, and shotgun section that can be downloaded individually or you can download them all. PDF format that you can print out yourself. From the 1990's I think:
