Anyone have thoughts on this ? Maybe I am just thinking too many are to lazy to work up a load and just want someone to tell them what to use. Right or Wrong ? Bill K

You are right.
In a lot of cases it simply seems like the person asking the question is new to reloading, does not own a reloading manual, and is happy with what someone else suggests without realizing that somone's "perfectly safe load" might not be so safe in their rifle.
In my internet experience I've made it a practice to never give out specific loads, etc. as I have no way of knowing what the next guy might do with them. I will recommend certain powders, bullets, etc. that have worked for me for different cartridges, but nothing more specific than that.
I guess all of us older guys learned to reload from a manual without the benefit of the internet to do the leg work for us. I for one am glad that I learned that way.
