I have been tinkering around with an on-line generic database for reloading data.
The only thing product specific is the powder, and that has to be.
I have included data for lead, plated, jacketed and some XTP hollow point.
So far I have keyed in data for 45acp and some 44mag to test with.
I have it running, have not had the time to purty it up yet, just make it run right.
I would appreciate an opinion on it, before I get too carried away and load the next 20,000 lines of data.
Let me know what you see that works good and suggestions for enhancements.
My plans are to make it pretty massive before it's done.
Anyone want to key data?

Barrel Length of the gun the data was produced with would be a good field to add, when data is available. Perhaps a comment field that could contain pertinent information such as barrel length, gun model, twist rate, etc.

I wish I had all that information, I agree that that it can greatly influence the final FPS data. Most of the data I have accumulated just doesn't include it.
I have also found that the pressure data posted varies widely from source to source, so I did not include it.

All of the 45ACP data I have is in, and most of the 44 mag data.
Some re-formatting is finished so it should be easier to read.
Some sub-search functions were also added.
Comments are welcome.

looks good.

can you add a data source? are these all from reloading books?

I have only one question/comment as I have not browsed your site much.
After looking through your 45acp data, I noticed this:

45 ACP LP OR SP Bullseye Alliant 200 G LEAD 4 790 4 790
45 ACP LP OR SP Bullseye Alliant 230 G JACKETED 5 905 5 905
45 ACP LP OR SP Bullseye Alliant 230 G LEAD 4 810 4 810

The min and max powder measures that you listed are the same.
I was wondering if this was an oversight or if I'm missing something.

Other than that, so far it's GREAT! Keep it going!

I checked the data and then looked it up.
The powder manufacturer does not recommend changing that load - up or down.

Thanks for clearing that up for me Griz. I was a little confused because the data I have shows a little different. Anyways, thanks again! I look forward to using your site a lot in the future.

For that very reason, all loads should be checked with at least two sources of information.
Typos occur on almost every list, and test data done by one place will not always match exactly that of another tester.
As always, the best advice I can give anyone, check every source you can find, start at the bottom, work your way up until you find the best load for your gun, that shows no signs of overpressure.

I agree! The data I was referring to was pulled from three different sources (Bullet manufactures), and none of them matched each other or yours. Sometimes it feels like they are throwing a dart at a dart board.
