    Reloading Books

    can the reloading gurus point me in the right direction?

    I want to learn more about general reloading and the effects of rifle barrel twists. (how the twist ratio changes the dynamics)

    I want to start shooting .308 out over 600yards and want to load my own rounds

    Electronic books are preferred

    Thanks in advance

    "The ABC's of Reloading" is a good beginning manual that will get you off to a good start. Get a second manual from a bullet/powder company like the "Speer Reloading Manual".

      Stalker - I have both books mentioned above. I would be willing to lend them to you if you promise to take good care of them and return them once you're done. If you're not local to me, just send me shipping cost to you.

        I have all the books except the Swift one. Hands-down the best is the Lyman book. Get the #49 edition and you will have one useful for life with data and info.
        A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

          I have the Lyman book and it's not that great, thinking about picking up a Speer one for that. I read that certain book will show different pressure/velocity at certain charge, the Lyman only have min and max, and alot of the different bullet weights are not in there. What's the lesson here? Have multiple sources kids.

            My personal favorites are the Lyman and Lee Second Edition books for general how to in reloading as well as having a lot of load data.

            For information on accuracy and reloading, books by Glen Brennan and Dave Zediker might also be a good place to look.

            Another good place to hang out is Snipers Hide and the Bench Rest forums.

            Have fun.

              Look around on snipers hide for some free info. Lots of long range shooters there.
