I had an email from them too.
It showed a load request page where you can ask for a cartridge, powder, bullet weight and primer for development.
IT does say this-
"Request customer load development for optimal firearm performance
Important: This form is to request new load data. We are not guaranteeing that we will develop or shoot the data."

I suspect they will try to DO THE MOST OFTEN SUBMITTED LOADS OVER TIME.

I have the 2025 and several before, but no need for the 2026 for me

for me, as long as it is updated for what i shoot, i am fine with that. i to this day, do not want any "hot loads" to shoot.

there will come a time and day, when i will stop buying yearly updated manuals. i figure with God on my side, i got maybe 3 more years of reloading, before i take the sawz-all to the Dillon, and trash it.

Sometime in the early 90s i acquired a Swedish Mauser Mdl 96. Since the I had a few passed on to others. Late last year i got a scoped Savage 110 in 6.5 Creedmore! My Atholon Chronograph shows no real difference shooting 140 grain Hornady bullets.

If you contact directly , they will have data that " didn't make it into the book " frequently.

this is true..before each and every reloading session, either for my 9mm or 45 ACP, i check the Hodgdon website for any updated information.
i like to stay "just under" max load, which i have been told by other reloaders i meet up with at the club or range, as it is, the loads in the books are "somewhat" cut back a tiny bit...claiming, "its done for the lawyers"
true or not, i personally "feel safe" with a little less.
having a few reloading manuals (to me) is like having an insurance policy on hand.
