Why such a difference in loading manuals?
Okay, I am thoroughly confused.
My speer manual lists load data for .30-06 150 gr. FMJ BT using IMR 4895 as minimum load of 45.5 gr. and a maximum load of 49.5 gr.
Hodgdon's (who owns IMR) reloading data website notes that for the same type of bullet, the same type of powder minimum load of 49 gr. and maximum of 53 gr.
What gives??? I am fairly new to reloading... does this sort of thing happen often between loading manuals?"The rifle is the weapon of democracy. If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military. The hired servants of our rulers. Only the government-and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws." (Edward Abbey, "The Right to Arms," Abbey's Road [New York, 1979])
I have my rifle. Do you?
