Just went to the Hodgdon load data website and freaked out. It used to be a nice format where you could print out on a single page at 10pt font the list of ALL loads for a given cartridge. Now, you'd be lucky if you can get 2 loads on a single page.
Anyone else seen it yet? Am I the only one who feels like they no longer need their Rx glasses to read the website? [Dunno]

Example here: http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data...5B%5D=IMR+4895
I have copies of their previous format for 9mm, 45acp, 38/357 data for TG if you'd like a copy.
WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! You killed trees? We don't print stuff out anymore.Quote:

It would be nice if the user had the option of selecting the new "recipe box print it out on a note card" format, or the old database style that makes getting lots of data at once easy.
I selected three bullet weights and seven powders and got 35 loads.Quote:

brutal, my link was about the ginormous font and huge real estate that each load data takes up. It used to be the load data took up one line and it had columns for each variable, like an excel spreadsheet. Now you can't do that and you also have to scroll the page to see the full load data, which is inconvenient and frankly, unsafe in my opinion, since you could scroll, look away, then look back and look at the wrong data.
Guess I'm the only one that doesn't like the new format. Oh well.
Gotcha.Quote:

FWIW, I put the data in a spreadsheet and then I can reference it, organize it and make notes, etc.

They have omitted a lot of misc bullets and seem to be focusing on "name brand ", like Hornady. They also lowered the powder charge min & max weight.Quote:

They've certainly provided much fodder for forum discussions! Across the 'net, lots of discussion about their new site. Imnsho, it's an overuse of web technology... I like the old one better. There, I said it!!
Exactly, they should have just made a website chock full of Flash animations, swooshy noises, zippy pages, more animations, etc and then we'd REALLY be excited about it. [facepalm]Quote:

They seem to have changed it. Before, the load for each bullet/powder was in one column like block, about 3" wide on the screen and 8" long.
Now they switched back to rows with buttons to hide other bullets. I want the old system back. [Cry]
I like it. You don't have to pick a powder or even a bullet weight. Brass, primer, barrel length, etc all right across the top... add a cartridge, expand all / collapse all...
Takes some time to know where to look for everything, but it's all right there at your fingertips.
I don't care for the cards.
Likewise. Inability to change bullet mfg isn't good. Unless i missed something??Quote:

I am a little curious about the .223 data for Hornady's 55gr fmj... they list Trail Boss, Titegroup and Clays.
[facepalm]
Already did. it's like reading the Hornady book.Quote:
