Why doesn't Hodgdon print 7mm WSM load data?

[mattri]

Picked up the new Hodgdon 2016 Annual Reloading Manual today, have been buying them for the last few years- interesting articles and nice to have the latest data for most rounds.

One thing I've noticed though is that they don't include 7mm WSM data. Its on their website but not the magazine- what's up?

Finite space?

I wish Hodgdon would bring back their BOOK manual once every few years. The on-line is OK for faster updates, but I still like to use and compare different books (bookworm I guess).

I have never owned a "complete" Hodgdon load book. I do have several but all are condensed versions in large or small format. I love their online site and when I want something for keeps I just hit the "print" option.

There are a few cartridges omitted from the Annual, likely owing to simple space limitations. Easy targets for omission are newer cartridges which have not caught fire with sales. An example is 243 WSSM which was in the 2013 Annual, then disappeared from the 2014 edition. You may find other WSM / WSSM missing, and there may be some venerable near-obsolete ones missing as well.

I couldn't "print" all the load data as cheap as what the "book" manuals are and then I'd be tied to the computer

Never said print the entire reloading data site. Print what you NEED.
I have many other manuals here for reference when I need them.

I see the 2016 Hodgdon Annual has just hit the shelves.

Yes that is the manual in question.
