I found the new 2010(still can't get used to saying that) Hodgdon's Annual Manual on the magazine rack at Wally World. I didn't get to read it yet, but I see that Dupont's old IMR8202 match/varmint powder has been revived. It was never made available for canister sale, but was originally designed for use in the then new M16. When the military supply dried up there were a lot of disappointed handloaders.
They also have new load data for the 6.5 Grendel and the 6.5 Creedmoor.

I bought the 2008 manual. Given they have all their data online, I wonder if it's really worthwhile buying the printed copy? The only advantage I see is that it makes good bathroom reading...... I find it impossible to poo without reading something.

I find it impossible to poo without reading something. LOL!! I call it the little reading room! I still like to have the manuals so I can page back and forth comparing cartridges and to have available at my loading bench to double check other load data. I also have an online subscription to Load Data www.loaddata.com/home/members.cfm which has loads available from almost any manual along with load data from Handloaders magazine articles. I guess with shooting/hunting being my passion, I like to be surrounded by as much of it as I can. LOL!! Don |
