What are the best reloading manuals?
I just figured out that the Lyman reloading manual that came with my kit isn't very good. It doesn't provide data for maximum case length and trim to lengths, it doesn't give data on accuracy loads and things like that.
I'm reloading for .308, 300 WM, and 7.5x55 Swiss and maybe later for 223 Rem.
If I were looking to buy a new manual which should I choose?
Thanks
Tom
Books all reloaders should get in thier reloading life. And in the order of what I like.
1. Nosler
2. Sierra
3. Barnes (must have if ever loading high pressure bullets)
4. Lymans (good various bullets, and lots of good info on reloading in general, data is however all over the place)
5. Speer
6. Hornady (just cause I am still mad at em)
The nosler has been the most helpful. If you ever load a solid shank bullet like TBBC, Failsafe, Barnes of course, the barnes is a good book to start from. Its good for other high pressure bullets too like scirrocos. Unless you are a die hard swift fan, I wouldn't spend the money on thier manual.
