    I it possible that they actually mean “lead free” bullet? Because that data matches up with the data from Hodgdon in the 223wssm/varget.

    LEE was less than helpful and could've cared less when I asked them about this data!
    The English language has enough words to use to describe pretty much anything.
    IF they meant LEAD "FREE", then they should've printed that out.
    Words have meanings and the ONLY word to go on was LEAD.
    IF they meant LEAD FREE then they are incompetent WHICH mixed with load data is DANGEROUS!

    I am just really disappointed that I paid good money for a manual that had incorrect information!

    Haphazardly going about reloading in my opinion doesn't work well in reloading.
    The dumbing down of reloading cannot end well in my humble opinion.
    And one either pays attention to what they are doing OR they DON'T!

    On another note, I see people incorrectly using *gn* as an abbreviation POSSIBLY for GRAIN. The correct abbreviation is *gr*
    Google says *gn* has a couple meanings,
    *good night* is one,
    *global network* is another one.

    *gns* means "going nowhere slowly"
    "Global Network System"
    "General News Service"
    "Get Nearest Server"

    And this undoubtedly leads to the less educated getting "butt hurt" and I guess, remaining ignorant.

    Rant over, lol

    Ive never used the lee manual before. They just take data from hogdgon and publish it in their book. Ive already got that at my fingertips.

    I’ve just gone by the data from the powder manufacturer. I have the lee manual, and still consult it from time to time, but it’s not my go-to for data anymore.

    I'm a fan of the Hodgdon Website, I find the info helpful and pretty decent for a starting load.

    Most of all, I like their disclaimer prior to seeing any data. I like being reminded about safety.
