Here's some good advise to newbies. "ain't nothing free in this world" You can live by that.
what your saying is directions to putting a grill together is free, no, its an important part of the product as a whole. Sure, I can go thru experimentation and playing around putting parts where they look like they should go, but thats not acceptable.
I am not sure how some of your guys are missing it, and its been explained clearly. They have data for a variety of both cup and core and solid shank bullets but refuse to give it now to push sale of thier sister companies bullets.
Not missin a thing. Been doin it long enough to know how to use the information available and certainly long before there were a bunch of geniuses on the internet telling me how.
Anyone who has used an Accurate Arms loading book can see that even if they don't use their 'sister' company bullets exclusively they are very bias in what they do use.
I expect that in time it will be more the norm with Hodgdon, AA and any other powder company that buys there way into a bullet manufacturer.
