Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Was there a CD that came with Barnes Cartridges of the World, and that included a database?
I thought there was and that I had copied it to my hard drive, and I did find a 'Barnes Cartridges.wdb' microsoft works file, but it only has one entry. Also a CartridgeCDdirectory-Bonus.pdf, which appears to be a digital copy of the paper book, but no database (or even Excel spreadsheet) other than that single entry microsoft works .wdb file.

I recently came on a .300 AAC Blackout case in my pile of .223 range brass and realized it was almost a cut down and necked up .223. And that rabbit hole led me to wonder what commercial cartridges were based on the .223. And it is a pain to flip through the paper book trying to answer that question. A database search would be so much easier.

Apparently the 30-06 is also a popular parent case, both for commercial ammo and for handloaders.

My fave cartridge based on the 223 is 6.5 TCU. Unbelievably accurate! SW
