help finding website...

[igon51]

About a month ago a member, in response to another member's query, posted a link to a reloading website which took me directly to page showing dimensional info for the 45 Colt cartridge. It looked like a great site offering more info if you signed up to the site. I cannot find that link now and was hoping that someone would repost it. I want to develop a hunting load for whitetail deer for my EMF '92 clone and I think that this site would offer some good options.

If any members want to suggest their favorite(s). Please do so.

Thanks, Mike

Most likely, you are talking about AmmoGuide:
http://ammoguide.com/
It has detailed dimensions, comparison charts, and many other features besides having a huge trove of loads.

...Or else LoadData:
http://www.loaddata.com
Once you click on a load (at least as a member) you see a display of the cartridge dimensions; and its advantage is that it lists loads directly from reloading books and magazines that you would otherwise pay hundreds of dollars for, in the aggregate.l

Both of these sites are excellent sources; but as with everytinhg else, you should double check with other sources. There are other sites that have dimensions on various cartridges of interest, but I cannot think of any site that has more load information, with dimensions and other information, as the the ones above.

I hope this is what you were looking for.

AmmoGuide and LoadData both require membership for 'full' access, but are well worth the cost.

AmmoGuide is easier to search and filter and browse, and has more overall information I think, but LoadData has more loads listed, and I think all the loads on LoadData are 'published' ones, vs. a mix of published and 'user' load data.

Thanks "loads"

I double checked, since I use the two sites frequently; and as usual the good Doctor is precisely correct. LoadData shows its source at the beginning of the load.

AmmoGuide, with it many tables and helps and search engines, is the quickest answer, but I have indeed found some loads that are a hotter than I would use, and once I sent in a correction to a load that quoted the wrong COAL. But then again, I found one that was vastly wrong in a Hornady manual, as well.
