I had a dream the new Nosler #7 loading manual came out, and Nosler separated the rifle and handgun sections into two separate volumes.

Anyway, what would you like to see added to #7?

I would like to see more info about the bullets themselves, i.e. if there are standards for testing through objects, standards of accuracy off the line.

Also, recommendations for bullets by weight. I believe the bigger bullets per caliber to be a bit tougher, with a thicker jacket. However, it would be interesting to know Nosler's take on construction by weight.

Finally, a section on powders, burn rates, temperature sensitivity, etc. would be cool.

I know, a lot to ask for. Nosler #6 is already the best loading manual.

X2, I probably check my Nosler manual every day

Nah, that can't be it. Must be a vision from the Almighty instead.
 
I am looking forward to #7 as well. Time for a new one! Alot of new bullets in the past couple of years.
 
I only have #3 and #6. In haste moving, I lost a box of these books (the movers actually lost it) which had 45 years of loading manuals in it. This included #1-#5 Nosler manuals. I feel like my best friend died!

Plus, I do not and refuse to deal with Ebay after of some issues with Ebay's parasitic and predatory-by-association and counterfeit-as-genuine, fraudulent coin listing practices for fees with selected of their Power Sellers. Ebay also, as I found out, will freeze your account for (6) months in limbo, not close it and steal your bonus dollars when and if you try to quit. Sweet folks they are! I guess that I will just have to pay book store prices for these manuals and suck it up!

I mentioned this as a caution regarding Ebay, building off their Bay area, anti-gun bias and corporate dishonesty for other's information only. Please take it in that light and good luck with Ebay.
 
I just got my new #7 it's great. It has data for the new E-tips, the 300 gr. 338. The new RL 17 AND 33 powders and The new Phantom and Gorloth bullets too. :lol:
