Instead of having to fork out $25 per manual, go to your local gun shop (not Wal-Mart) and pick up the brochures from the various powder manufacturers. These are chocked full of recipes (for their powder of course). Also, since you obviously can operate a computer, go to the powder makers websites. These can also be a wealth of information. I have found that powder makers give up info and recipes for free more readily than bullet makers. Also don't overlook reputable magazines for reloading data.
