I use the Hodgdon site and the Hornady App, but I'm gonna buy the hard copy of Hornady's 12th edition of the Reloading Manual when it comes out. I'm hoping the add a cartridge. Those 2 sites usually have similar bullets I use, and
The best thing about the handbooks are the format you print it on. the pages are thick, the size of the book is a manageable size and the ring binder make it practical. I'm sure the ring binder doesn't sound like much, but all the other reloading manuals I have are hard copy bound and have a tendacy to flip off my desk if I don't bend/destroy the binding. Your handbooks are very nice to use as a reference.
I'm sure all of our mileage varies but there's enough data in the Volume 2 chart, it's all I need for 6.5 Grendel. The Hornady 11th Edition has pretty good data for 300 blackout, but 6.5 Grendel less so. Your handbooks are the 6.5 Grendel bible, IMO.
My one complaint with all of these reloading references is that the barrel length and twist is often not the same as I'm using.
From my cold dead endmill...
