Nosler Manual #6

[Guest]

I just got my Nozler #6 in the mail today. I compared load data in the book to the data on the Nozler website for a specific bullet. Powder charge and velocity is the same in the book as on the website, but load density is different. Wich is correct?

Give us the details and we will try to get an answer for you. My guess would be that the web is current data.

I asked this earlier, the response from Nosler was that they used Nosler brass for load density info in the #6 manual as opposed to some other maker. As we all know, Nosler brass is a tad bit thicker, so a specific powder fills the case more so than with Rem, Win, or Fed brass. I think they also mentioned using a different method of calculating load density as well. Do a search on this forum about the #6 manual.

Well, after searching my posts back to 2005, I didn't ask. Probably read it from some one else asking. I did a search on "Nosler Manual" and found several threads discussing the difference between #5 and #6.

I do recall that topic now that you mentioned it. Nosler is calculating the load density differently and thus the difference.

If we can get some specifics, we can drill down deeper to get the right answers.

I think the #6 manual uses a load density that compares the weight of the charge in grains to how much water, in gains, it takes to fill the case.

The older manuals used powder charge to full case of powder IIRC.
