Lester,

That's funny I did the same thing. I have 7mm Rem Mag, 6.5x55 SE, 30-06, 7.62x54R and 9mm Luger. I keep the free electronic copies of reloading manuals and the Hodgdon excel file on a thumb drive, along with txt files of previous load work ups and a copy of Point Blank (version 1.8 as it work well under Wine on Linux). I have my reloading data with me most of the time if I ever feel the desire to peruse it.

Why? Why not!

Sometimes being anal is a good thing, in my OCD experience it is always a good thing. I never trust the data on the internet, there one day gone the next. And, I have plenty of room on my various hard drives and flash drives. Several printer copies too, just in case the happens to be an EMP anywhere in the vicinity. But, hey that's just me.

Well, fortunately, I copied and saved to an Excel spreadsheet all the data they had for the calibers I was interested in. Those calibers are for rifle .270, 7 MM Mag, and 308. For handguns I have 380 Auto, 9MM, 40 S&W, and 357 Mag. The date on the file is 03/12 so the data is only a couple years old. If you have Excel and want the data I will be happy to send it to you.

LOL! I have screen captures of reloading data from various websites on a thumbdrive thats always with me. Glad I'm not the only one hehe.

I also use my Lee volume 2 as it took all its data from powder manufacturers. I check it against the powder sites to make sure no typos. Lee lists in order of bullet weight and then by velocity. I input my favourates into PB and then print them and store in a three ring binder.
My tablet is full of PDF's taken from component sites and other references.

If you want the data to show all the powders just hit the "select all" button at the bottom of the powder type or maker tab.
I don't think the format is as good as the table they had but all the info is there - just a little different.

don't see why people have to fix something that ain't broke in the first place. so far, still liked the original better, we'll see.

Yup.....another needless change I'm gonna have to get use too !!!
