Reloading Books?

[what2be]

Lyman, barnes, nosler,sierra, hornaday...etc

Is one better than the other? I bought the sierra one with the cdrom for looking it up on the computer, thought that was kinda cool, but am I missing anything by only owning the sierrra?

I have been using Sierra manual because I primarily use sierra match bullets. The manual served me well.

More reloading books the merrier.

Can't help myself!

Eject your empty "magazine", seat a full one, that book is reloaded!

I would rcommend any manual for any bullet manufacturer that you are using, and for any powder company (many which are free).

I personally have 10 or so, including Sierra, Nosler, Hornandy (which are the primary bullets I use), Lee, Lyman and Speer (RCBS's book).

I also recommend suscribing to Wolf Publishings Handloader Magazine!

IF you are looking for advanced tricks and advice, Zediker's Handloading for Competition is a excellant book as well as Precision Shooting's Reloading Guide.

More is better

I haven't seen the Sierra, but I have Speer #11, #13, #14, and the latest from Hornaday. I also have a couple of caliber specific books. When I am having trouble finding specific data which matches all the components I want to use, I can compare data from the various books, and work up a good starting load extrapolation. Sometimes I wonder if I am being too cautious, but then there really is no such thing as too cautious.

I have the LEE it works just fine.

get every one you can get your hands on.No such thing as too much data in handloading.Old ones new ones in between ones.also look online many manufacturers post data.Print them hole punch em put em in a binder.

I find the Lyman manual hard to beat for general use -- Others are fine for specific components----

What he said +1. Plus what others said, more than one manual is good.
