I wish they were more specific as to the primers they are referring to for Cheddite (are they CX-50, or CX-1000, or CX-2000) and Nobel (are they 686, or 688).
 
Major change in format. In some ways its harder to navigate. But it also allows you to pick a particular primer.
Yeah, I just noticed the new format. It is harder and slower to navigate. I'm not crazy about the primer filter. It makes it much harder to compare loads, using different primers. I use Nobel Sport primers and there is only one hull listed for use with them and that a NS paper hull. When I select Win 209 primers, there's no data for that hull.

From what I understand Cheddite now only makes the CX-2000 and Nobel only makes the 688, so I wouldn't think new data would be for the older, and now discontinued primers.

However, I could be wrong. I guess a letter to Hodgdon might clear up the question.
 
What's the complaint?
You don't NEED to filter by primer if you don't want to.
The "Get Load Data" button goes active as soon as you input Gauge and Shell.
I input 12 Gauge and Remington 2 3/4" and it spit out 3,736 loads.

I for one like the added filter level. My primer supply is currently strictly Cheddite so why waste screen space on all the unobtainium primers?

They have answered that question multiple times.
Cheddite is the CX2000. The only primer(from Cheddite) available/imported for reloading.( I believe that's how the answer was worded)
Nobel is the 688. The 686 has been discontinued. (Again I believe that's how the answer was worded)
At this point its best you ask them yourself.

Thanks for pointing that out. I can get what I want under the new format, and I stand corrected.

Ah thanks. We're in the beginning of a learning curve. I wasn't aware one could skip.
 
The Hodgdon website looks different, but it works the same if you don't get carried away choosing specifics.

Select the gauge, the hull and the payload, let the website do the rest. Same old website with a new dress. (Sometimes I wish I could say what I really want to say and would say face to face.....decorum and manners.....yuck)
 
I like the shotgun portion of the new Data Center. But...I sure hope they are still putting in data for the pistol section. For instance, I see no data for cast or PC bullets I shoot in my .41 mag. Data was in the old site.
