I'm crosseyed trying to read this! The extra space remover destroys column layouts. Maybe if you took a picture or screen print of it and post it as a picture, it would retain tghe column format.

Keep in mind that this data is very old and some of the ammo listed has been out of production since the 1990's. Other rounds have had spec changes over the years that would have changed some of the numbers.

[Ressom]

Why are some loads listed twice (9x19 Win Ranger Talon|147 for example)?

[hotpig]

Maybe they tested both generations of the RA9T.
