Thread: My treasure trove of reloading data

The Alliant Technosystems/Vista Outdoors set up is quite recent.

You need to go back further and Vernon Speer created Speer Projectiles and his brother Dick Speer set up CCI (initially in Vernon's factory, it may have even been just a large garage at that stage).
That is where the favoritism started.

As an aside, I bought my first reloading manual, Speers, in the 70s. In those days it was a bit of a bible. Not much else around. I still have that manual, it has curio value.
Recently I thought I had better have a latest manual so purchased the latest Speer. Most disappointed by it and yes some of the loads are suspect. A lot of cutting and pasting appears to have gone as some of the language seems quite aged to me. Also the manual is hopelessly out of date.
