    As a word of caution to the winner and anybody that buys these books. Verify the load data in it against current load data. Sometimes the load data in OB/OC is a from the previous edition or older manual from a manufacturer. I know I found out of date load data in the ones I have for .40 S&W and .308.

    That is why everyone should have more than one manual and always cross check a new load to see if it sounds reasonable. If it doesn't pass the "smell test" do more research before you try it. It really scares me that some people will take any load they find anywhere (it was on the internet so it must be true) and start loading without checking. I want to see at least two similar loads in two published references before I will risk my firearms or my body to see if it works.

    Agreed, I check manual load data to powder maker load data to reloading die load data. So far all have matched so this is a good thing.
