Hornady has an excellent reloading guide. There are also some sites online that have lots of load data but charge for it. If you are in the OC area Fieldtime in HB offers seminars. -
The ABC's of Reloading and the Lyman Guide. Youtube is also amazing.Comment

Also, components are hard to come by these days. Be patient. For the .45 ACP I use a shotgun powder called Hi Skor 700X. It's almost always in-stock and works great.Comment

I just got the Lyman book and have been reading it for the last few days. Seems like a pretty good book and lots of ballistic info in the back.Originally posted by ar15barrelsComment

as for the powder, as Rudy said... i use a shotgun powder. Hodgdon clays. i can usually find that stuff at my local turners. they always seem to have it.Comment

Lyman #49 book is the best.A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.
