Hodgdon Reloading Data Webpage

[85MikeTPI]

Not a fan of the new web page.

Any hints on making it more comparison friendly? Just to compare three powders for 308win/175gr, I had to click a dozen times. The curmudgeon in me is not amused..

Reloading Data Center – Hodgdon Reloading Data Center

The mobile version was even worse, just leaving selections off the screen until you rotate the screen...

You could always spend the $10 to get the book if it bothers you enough. I prefer printed load data because I can take notes in the book.

I only use it as a reference. Lots of decent info, but hasn't really kept up with modern conditions.
My preferred reference or starting point is Hornady's loading manual. I buy an updated version every couple years.
I admit I am not near the reloader some of you guys are, so...

I’m with you, I don’t like the new format. Still appreciate the free info.

New page, old page; it don’t matter - Hodgdon‘s data system has always been so user UN-friendly I‘ve gone out of my way to buy Alliant powders, instead.

Alliant is truly what an interactive manual SHOULD be! https://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/index.aspx?page=/reloaders/index.aspx&

Hodgdon’s had to be designed by a bureaucrat!

Yes, I agree it’s easier. But no 6.5 Creedmoor listed at a glance, or I missed it. So how often do they update it?

Funny you should ask as just last night it struck me as fairly often as that was when I see they updated the 12ga tapered hulls in shotshell section by adding / putting Federal “High Overall” hulls right next to Remington Gun Clubs and STS …

ETA: here it is, they have gobs of data on 6.5 (upthread I only linked the shotshell data page); here is The Link to Metallic Rifle:

6.5 Creedmoor is tip top of the page

Yup, this.

Still have a pdf of the last Western Powders load data, so I use that for Accurate/Ramshot.

Haven't gotten the Hodgdon new load center format to give me multiple powder data for a given cartridge/bullet weight.

Hopefully enough people complain to Hodgdon to get the old load center format brought back as an option. But considering how much of the powder market they now control, not sure how much they care about regular users any more.

Recently bought the newest manual from Sierra and there definitely isn't enough new info in it to justify the price! I have a Hodgdon manual that I rarely use. Most info can be found online for more recent calibers as long as you can trust the source. I always check multiple sources.

What a Fv*ked up data page! They used to have a really good system that was user friendly and now the damned thing makes me want to shout at the computer. What the hell were they thinking?

Hopefully you guys that still go to the Shot Show will let them know what for.

Hodgdon wants to sell their reloading book/magazine and their app. The book is worth it, IMHO.

If you shoot newer calibers, yes it is. However, if you are loading older calibers, and have an older magazine, the data is still good. Their online data base was a fast way to verify that. Now it is not.

Oops, I did miss it thanks. What an odd place to put it.

Are we talking about the same webpage? Works just fine for me. Kind of like it actually.
Click on 308
Click on 175 gr bullets
Click on each of the powders you want (3 clicks)
Click "Get Load Data"
I come up with 6 clicks.
ETA: Oh, I see. As soon as you click on any manufacturer or powder, everything else disappears. I think they have it setup wrong and that's not what they're intending.

I'm glad the light came on for you. I agree, it probably isn't what they intended.

correct, and you can still get the data by going back, unclicking the powder and selecting another.. rinse and repeat.. about 12 clicks for 3 powders to compare.
