Which are the most comprehensive, kept up-to-date, powder load database websites?

[Cassidy]

There appear to be a number of powder load databases on the web. Which do you think are the most comprehensive that keep their load data current? Your feedback regarding both free and subscription powder load databases will be appreciated. I am primarily interested in rifle loads but others reading this may want this info for pistol loads. All comments are welcome.

my opinion,
is the real world of reloading does not work form some data base in the cloud.
what works is the data you record for your loads in your rifles/pistols

Ones I use online for reference are Hodgdon's, Nosler, Western Powders, those are reasonably up to date.

I used to frequent this site for years, invaluable real user data. I was extremely upset when the owner let it go. Wayback machine is the only way to see it.

The Rifle Section @ www.reloadersnest.com

Thank you Rusty! I have used shootersreference.com (free) and loaddata.com (a subscription), and am interested in databases others use, particularly those that are comprehensive (not limited to one powder mfr). As you know, this info helps in selecting various powders to test for a particular caliber/case/bullet/bullet weight. Enjoy Bend and Deschutes Fresh Squeezed.

JamesnTN died last year of Covid. He is was/the owner and ran the site.​

Thats horrible news.

Well he did a great job when it was up. It's been 6 years since it was up.

Something of a EU version of Loaddata, some interesting stuff on it, was worth the 10.00 for me for the 30R Blaser data. Lots of other stuff there too https://www.xxl-reloading.com/

And I've used this a fair bit too before 450-400NE was finally published in Hornady about 10 yrs ago, something to do with the Italian proof house;

The information in Quickload is comprehensive to the extent that pressure, velocity,barrel time, etc can be calculated. Well worth the cost given powder and component prices.

GRTools is accurate to 99.3% with included non-tuned powder models, and 99.7 when the powder is tuned to your rifle MVs. I stopped looking up loads from anywhere as long as the powder model is included in the free GRTools simulator.
