The newer books at the new whiz bang stuff and drop the old mellow 1930's stuff. I don't throw away my old books as they often have more cartridges than some of the newer books. Like a Ruger GP100 or S&W model 28 versus some airweight or cheap import of questionable parentage. Might not make a big difference in an overbuilt Ruger hand cannon but for an old vintage gun or an light frame/weaker design it can make the difference. Nearly all of the changes are downward, used to say lawyers but I think it may be safe to say it's new instrumentation and being able to say yeah it's now 35k psi not 34k like the old data predicted.

Since then the testing tech has gotten more scientific and less seat of your pants. The old data was bench tested in bench universal guns or real guns, didn't blow up and was anointed as good. Old books.yea they have revised a lot of data from when I started reloading.
