I know it's an indicator of senility setting in, but I got pretty used to Hodgdon's old website, and liked it quite a bit. They decided to "improve" it, but IMHO it is way less useful and friendly. So is it just me? I can handle it if you say so :twisted:
 
Hmmmm. My first view of the "new" design. I must be getting old and my cantankerous nature is kicking in. I'm more negative than positive.
 
Yes, It is definitely more work. You definitely have to push more buttons.

I thought the same thing.
They also removed some features, and I think the loads are "lawyered down" compared to before. It's almost useless now; the Nosler site (!) is much better.
 
I agree with the consensus. Plus, I believe that Hodgdon has changed burning rates on IMR powders because their printed loads are heavier than the former manual version? I am now going to have to go back, chrono and check some loads. I noticed that my 130 gr 4350 load has lost 100 fps muzzle velocity.
 
Count me in too...that website is my primary source of data...and I really don't like the new format.

I've used that site for quite some time...long enough to have a lot of it memorized...I don't see any changes to the load data...at least none in 30-06, 243, or 45-70...they have added a new powder here and there (Superformance)...but thats the only change I see.

And I just noticed....the new format is far better than the old one...when you're looking at it on a smartphone.

Liked the old one better but I still think its the best, especially in view of the fact they publish pressures and also nominate the bullet they used.

They also list all the Aussie made ADI powders which is crucial for me.
