I love the way Nosler presents it's data and I've been waiting for so long. Any word on the release of the next edition? Will it include some of the new stuff? Maybe something about the 7BC too. Cheers guys

Not sure, but Hodgdon has load data for those cartridges with Grand to hold you over.

Cheers but that data is poor to say the least and doesn't cover bullet types I'm interested in. The Nosler data is fundamentally superior on many levels.. Hodgdons is in bed with Hornady so they don't support the Nosler bullets and for some reason have poo pooed the 6.8w very openly. I have looked at the data and it just doesn't make the grade.

Something to keep in mind, when the 6,8 Western made its debut Nosler bullets were on the verge of extinction and when a retailer would finally get some in stock there would be restrictions on how many boxes could be purchased.
I asked Nosler a while back for 6.8W loading data and they said were building a new testing tunnel or something and would publish data when that was done. No idea if that is happening or not as Nosler has been MIA compared to other bullet manufacturers for a while now, at least with info they put out.

Not sure about the new edition, but Hodgdon has some load data for those cartridges with Grand that might be helpful. Always start 10% below the Max level and carefully monitor for overpressure signs on the detonator! Good luck with your reloading!
