      Free online, Western Powder (Ramshot, Accurate), Hodgdon, Speer, Sierra, Vihtavuori, Shooters World/Lovex, Alexander Arms load data, Barnes, and Nosler. Hornady 10th addition if I was buying a new loading manual/ bound book. The 6.5 Grendel Handbooks are also worth getting.

      Link to the 6.5 Grendel Handbooks.

      Volume 1 & Volume 2 + 6.5 Grendel / 6mm AR Chamber Brushes Volume 1: AR-15 Reloading Basics Volume 2: Reloading for Hunting Two Pack of 6.5 Grendel / 6mm AR Chamber Brushes *** IMPORTANT *** SHIPS US Domestic (Includes Alaska & Hawaii)

            Hodgdon's annual manual, Speer manual, Hornady manual, Sierra manual, Nosler manual, Lyman manual, Barnes manual, Berger manual, Woodleigh manual. i don't have Vihtavuori or Norma or Lapua manuals however. all are valuable to me. Never can have too many.

            NightStalker,
            down there in AZ you might even try the public library, they may have copies that were donated that you could peruse.

              NS:

              The days of having to spend money on overpriced and basically useless reloading manuals are over.

              Go to the web site of the powder company and you will find their load data. Most will provide data of other brands of powder too.

              The Grendel Forum also has a sticky on favorite loads if you want but just note that you use this data at your own risk.

                    here is the spreadsheet
                    Load Data This data free and will remain free and never sold. Data was submitted and also taken from detailed posts on several boards. Its not a replacement for factory load data with proper pressure testing. Always work up your own load. Never take someone elses load and just load it and shoot....

                      I mostly use Hornady and Sierra bullets. So those two manuals are a must. I also have a hodgdon manual and Allianz,because I mostly use those 2 powders.
