for the Alliant manuals going way back. There is a button to others I believe, but found what I was looking for in a 1996 alliant book. 9mm load data for red dot. Very cool.

My dad used to claim that with each new manual edition, the max load would be 2grs less.

This could be caused by changes to the powder? My first manual has some loads that are larger than the newer manuals. Same brand manual too. Some powders are gone and there are some newer powders too.
