Hornady 7th Ed. Reloading Manual
« on: December 02, 2006, 03:42:46 AM »
I was surprised to see that Hornady had issued another manual so soon after the 6th was published. 

Has anyone had a chance to look at the insides of the 7th yet?  I like to load a lot of Hornady rifle and am starting to load for my .357 Mag pistol...have there been any significant changes to the manual since the 6th edition?

I bought the 7th ed. from Midway.  It came in 3 days.  This ed. is a single volume.  Ballistic tables are now offered on line.  I was hoping this ed. would have updated info for the WSSMs, but it is the same as the 6th ed. in that regard.  I bought it because it has new data for Benchmark powder in 223.  Also, my new son in law is getting into reloading, so I gave him my 6th ed.  My wife is fine with me giving him my older equipment and me updating my bench.  It's been a happy time in my shop!

Do you happen to know what the main differences are between 6th and 7th editions are? It looks like I may have to finally cave in and get a Hornady manual.

I would hope 2 additions would be  .460 and .500 S&W data!

If you look at the "Tech. Spec." info on the Midway site for this loadbook, you can see all the calibers included in the 7th ed.
New calibers are: 204 Ruger, 22-6mm, 25 wssm, 6.8 spc, 325 wsm, 7.63 Mauser, 460 S&W, 50 AE, and 500 S&W.
New powders are: Benchmark, Retumbo, Trail Boss, RL 10X, Ramshot TAC, Big Game, Magnum, Hunter & Enforcer.
If you do not have a Hornady Loadbook, I highly recommend it.  It's my favorite and most used book - but then I also shoot alot of Hornady bullets.
