What is the best website for reloading data? I'm looking for one that has primers and powder.
Thanks

I reference a Sierra manual, a Speer manual and go to hodgdon reloading.com for a third opinion on powder charge. The Hodgdon website is the least conservative of the three. Since they make the powder I'm pretty comfortable with their numbers, but I usually don't exceed their max charge.
Primers? CCI and Winchester have treated me well. These days buy what you can get.

Nosler has online data for their bullets and many popular powders. They even note the barrel manufacturer and lenght as well as the "best" powder they found for that combination and which of the loads they found the most accurate within that particular powder.

I use all of the above and then get into my Barnes Manual and start a notch or two off maximum. I gotten better results on other brands than Barnes from their book, especially on Varget.

I agree with the info above. Check and cross check the data as a typo can occur anywhere. I seldom load max and have found better accuracy a little below max. If I want a .308 bullet to go faster than my pet load for the .30-06 I need to get a .300WM or .300 Wby.

www.reloadersnest.com is very good. But cross-reference the load with several manuals.

Chuck Hawks has a good site. But, I seldom use web sites for reloading specs. I much prefer manuals.

The Hodgdon data site is the most comprehensive data site I have ever seen. They have IMR powder data there too as Hodgdon owns them also.

Hodgdon also includes Winchester since as those are also owned b Hodgdon. Accurate powder also has free online data for their powders. the Serria 800 number also is a good information source, just don't ask them about a Serria bonded core bullet.
