I have Barnes #4 and think it is the worst reloading manual that I have ever bought. Very limited data, and huge amounts of promotional material (adoring letters from dedicated users, etc.).

Tough to get load data for Barnes; only their website and limited Hodgdon info show Barnes loads.

Anybody know any other places to get load data for Barnes?

The following is from Barnes #4:
BL-C(2) 45.5/2581 50.5/2809 81%
IMR 4895 46.0/2588 49.5/2754 90%
IMR 4064 46.5/2594 50.0/2801 95%
AA 2520 47.5/2613 53.0/2851 86%
IMR 4320 47.0/2561 50.0/2708 89%
Big Game 50.5/2648 55.5/2869 98%
W 760 50.0/2616 54.5/2804 90%
H 414 51.0/2655 55.0/2818 91%
IMR 4350 53.0/2627 57.5/2845 106%
H 4350 52.0/2651 55.5/2825 97%
RL 19 55.5/2644 60.0/2859 108%

Those are all of the loads and data listed in their manual for 165 and 168 grain bullets.

Thanks for the scoop! Just need to get started on my reloading bench for the garage.. Bench at camp's 12 hours away :eek2:

Just picked up Hornady 9th edition and it looks promising. They have the H4350 info I wanted and also several other powders that I was interested in.

Works keeping me from my real job of building the loading bench, but guess the OT never hurts and might even give me an excuse to pick up Nosler's #7 manual.

Couple new manuals helps ease the summer doldrums :happy0001:
