I found myself the other day looking for some load recipes and was bouncing around a few different websites. It occurred to me that I have yet to find a single site that aggregated all the various free sources of load data out there so I started this list. This is obviously not a replacement for a good printed manual like the Lyman’s or Hornady load bible, but if you just need some manufacturer published data then this post should save you some time. Enjoy!
- Hodgdon/Winchester/IMR Powders – Online searchable database
- Western Powders (Accurate/Ramshot/) – Downloadable PDF
- Nosler Bullets – Online Searchable Database
- Sierra Bullets* – Online Blog
- Shooters World Powders – Downloadable PDF
- Lovex Powder (parent company of Shooters World) – Downloadable PDF
- Alliant Powders – Online searchable database / Downloadable PDF / Request Printed Book
- Barnes Bullets – Downloadable PDF
- Speer Bullets – Online Searchable Database
Notes:
* Sierra does not publish a complete set of load data for all cartridges online, you have to buy their book, but they do publish some articles for popular calibers in this blog that I have used to develop new loads.
