I have 2. The Berger book as I have been shooting their bullets and either they are more conservative or the long body of their projectiles generate more resistance and hence pressure. They are often a grain or 2 lighter than say hodgdons on line loads for a similar weight hornandy Amax.
I also have an old Hornandy manual and it's definitely got hotter loads than the current Hodgdons on line data. It's impossible to know how much the powder has changed in 40 years.
