Hodgdon Powder Annual Reloading Manual

Good Hodgdon powder manual. However if I was going to buy just one reloading data manual I would buy a manual from a reloading equipment manufacture. i.e. a die manufacture that sells a manual may cover all bullet and all powder manufacture. I updated a bullet manufacture's reloading manual and found it to be lacking in some bullet weights I was in need of.

There are interesting articles in this publication, however, it's purpose is reloading data. Lists plenty of bullet-powder combos for just about every caliber rifle and pistol. Features mostly Hodgdon powders. One thing I learned early on is that most of these reloading manuals are put out by bullet and powder manufacturers and they provide the majority of data in their manuals on their products. If possible pick out your bullet-powder products first and then buy the relevant reloading manual (s).

Soft cover. Like a magazine. That's unfortunate with a manual. A reloading manual is kind of like a cook book. It is likely to get handled like a good cook book. The actual reloading section was a bit hard to find at first in all the advertising and the print is kind of small. Useful but disappointing.

Been buying these annually for awhile now. Easy to use and great for cross referencing. Gotta be careful with as it's more magazine like than book like. And for the life of me why hasn't this been updated to PSI rather than CUP? I understand obscure cartridges maybe not being updated yet...but I have been buying for several years now and 357, 44 Mag really should be PSI by now.

I found the information I required easily. However, I think the longevity of a magazine style is in question.Still, I use Hodgdon powders and love TrailBoss cowboy loads.

I use a lot of Hodgdon powders, and I like the idea of using loads endorsed by the powder company rather than the bullet maker. These lords are a fair bit more aggressive than the loads in my Nosler book. So far I’ve been very happy with the info.

I had actually ordered the 2014 magazine but was shipped the 2016. it cost more to ship it back than to just reorder. so I gave this one to a friend.
