How many Reloading Manuals do you own(if any)??

[Beelzy]

I am somewhat interested, as I see some fairly LAME questions being asked
here about reloading. I am talking about questions that are covered in the
first few chapters of ANY manual.

What up?? Are reloaders now-a-days so Internet savvy that they feel no need for books anymore?
Or do folks only read the data, and skip the How-to parts?

I own 6.

What say you?

My apologies to any Newbies I may offend. But if you don't own at least 1
reloading manual, you should be offended.

I just have one for easy reference and get whatever else I need of the powder manufacturers website

I own about 20 plus the ones that come free from powder companies. Yea, I'm one of those guys that walks around at SHOT collecting bags of load data booklets and other paperwork. Some of my manuals are pretty old and list powders/bullets which are no longer made. These manuals can be priceless when needed. Also, it's always a good idea to compare load data from two or more independent sources.

[What Just Happened?]

I've read through 3.

[freakshow10mm]

Same here -- only one (Lee), but always augmented with online data picked up from the powder manufacturer.

I own about 60 but I collect old reloading manuals. I have Ideal/Lyman and Speer collections. I also have some pacific and CH refernce books. I also have Ken Waters Pet loads that is in my opinion the best written reference ever. It is older info but if you like reloading Ken is a master of getting the info to you, in a way that makes you read on about calibers you dont even own. I am also including the paper manuals you get from powder Mfr. I have some case specific manuals as well for 30-06, 30 Carbine, 22-250.....................Heck I probably have more than 60.

One old Speer reloading manual, bought new. And several 'gun show specials' - mimeographed / bound pamphlets on a single caliber, comprised of the relevant sections copied from many reloading manuals.

7-9

[EOD3]

Eight, not counting the Hodgdon annuals.

[30Cal]

Maybe 3.

I use Water's Pet Loads as a primary source of recipes. I should probably buy the supps from the last 10 years. Been a while.

[Thumper]

5 for me.

Various Nosler editions and the new Sierra one.

Probably a dozen but I use Hodgon's online reloading guide for a lot of research.
