,
I like to use the powder manufacturer's website, along with the bullet site as well. I figure these guys know their products. And they are free. That said, I have a speer book that I bought when I was setting up. I use it when internet is not available.

I don't have a chronograph. Would be nice to have one. I don't think for my use 985fps or 976 or 995 matters that much. What matters to me is reliability and how it groups at my desired range.

I couldn't be happier with the responces...I really don't wanna lay out 100 bucks for a chrono. I use the internet with books and I don't push the limits of the rounds. I keep them in the safer load data, they are just range loads for me. I starting to load to save money and found i really enjoy it now that I am getting into it...so dang cool to make your own bullets!

I have been reloading for at least twenty years and do not own a chronograph. Used one when doing T&E for local Sheriff's Department, but that was for the armorer's information. I use several books, including Lyman's, Lee's, and VV's. Sierra is a great book also.

Load on, my friend!
