RELOADING GUIDE 9 New and Expanded Cartridge Load Data Load data for each cartridge is presented in a graphic format, giving the reader a quick comparison of load velocities for each bullet weight. Nosler’s system uses simple, easy-to-read bar graphs to show velocity variation between powders, making powder selection faster and simpler than relying on data alone. Each cartridge’s data entry shows information for starting, intermediate and maximum loads for each powder listed. A Great Read and Informative Reference Tool Each cartridge section begins with an introduction by a different well-known writer or industry name. Nosler® continues to incorporate “Comments From the Lab” for many cartridges, a highly informative section that helps reloaders save time and money at the reloading bench. These pages are written by the Nosler® ballistics team and provide valuable insight and advice for working up accurate, effective loads.
