    Next best reloading manual to Lyman

    I have a brand new Lyman manual and a bunch of others from a few years old to over ten years old. I was wondering which manual you guys think is the most comprehensive one out there. I am not finding any data for a few of the bullets that I have, in particular the 102 gr Golden Sabre .380.

    Thanks

Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

    Since you are looking for very particular info, ontact the bullet manufacture and ask them. Also, there are several good FREE online sources. I use the powder manufacturer ones a lot. Of course, we can't forget the fact that one of our own started a web site, ammoguide.com.

      I like the soft cover ones they have at like Sportsmans Warehouse, and a few other places, but each little booklet is only one caliber. But it has the specifics in there. I dont know what its called..
      They are printed on like normal paper and the cover is like pink or light blue regular paper.. thats the best description i have

        They're called Loadbooks and they are caliber specific. They have load data reprinted from powder and bullet manufacturers. I have one in each caliber I reload. It's a good cross reference. Midway and Cabellas sell them I believe, for about $8

          The largest variety of loads I've seen in a published manual is in the Lee Modern Reloading (or whatever it's called).

            I agree with Frank. The Lee manual has tons of load data. I also like to hold onto my old manuals and keep an eye out for used ones at book stores.

              I use the lee book but for spcific stuff those "Loadbooks" have that.
              It is sorted by either bullet manufacture or powder manufacture
              EX. in the 9mm book there is a page for the Nosler 90 gr. Hollow Point. Than the next page is 115gr. Nosler.
              or if you have a specific powder in mind in the back they have it sorted by manufacture (Alliant, Accurate, IMR, Vihtavuori, Winchester etc.)
              If that is what your looking for they have that.
              and I am pretty sure they have one for the .380

                I had a lot of different referance material and manuals in the past, but I ended-up keeping only the ones I came back to the most.

                Most of the manufacturers also have current reload data on their websites as well.
