The Pending Launch of Ammodata.com

Posted by William Kapeles on August 16, 2007

Friends, I detest having to pay for information that should be free.   The people at a popular firearms magazine have started a website dedicated to reloading.  It incorporates reloading data, shopping, articles, etc.  It’s the bee’s knees.  Unfortunately, it costs the end user $30.00 per year to get the info! 

My question is this:  Why charge for something so universally available anyway? 

The only solution is for us to launch a free version of the same data.  We will even have shopping available - though not to the same degree as the pay-site competition.   We are calling our site:  ammodata.com.

We are seeking input from the reloaders among you.  What would you like an online reloading manual to give you?  How much detail and frills do you need out of a free site?  Is just the basic sizes, loads, and speeds enough data, or do you also need a cute graphic showing you the same thing the numbers tell you?

Give us some feedback here as to how you want it.  It’s going to be a site for shooters - not frill-seekers.  If you have any comments you would like to keep private, just say so in the comment and we won’t allow them to be “public.”

Thanks for your help!
