Loaddata.com worth it?

[JASmith]

Speaking of paying to play, my go-to on-line load-data resource is Ammoguide.com and I get onto the site at least once a day.

I don't know which is more valuable to me, the forum, the load database, or the other features. The forum participants range from the truly novice through to some of the world's most expert handloaders. The discussions are almost entirely focused on reloading issues with the moderator keeping the politeness level where novices can ask naive questions without the risk of intimidation.

The load database has over 900 cartridges with drawings more than 850 of those are reloadable. The database has 27528 loads as of this typing. The database grows through member contributions. Loads identified as questionable may be edited or removed by the submitter or AmmoGuide staff, so surprises are rare.

There is also a tool to estimate the effect of barrel length, powder charge, and bullet weight on muzzle velocity.

Between them, the .223 and .308 Winchester have more than 2500 loads. Moving to the OP's interests, there are 110 loads for the 6.5 Grendel plus a similar number of loads for the 6.8SPC. By the way there are three flavors of this cartridge in the database.

Price of participation: It is hard to buy a box of 100 30-caliber jacked bullets for less than the first year's subscription.
