Reloading book that has most powders listed in load data?

[the86d]

I only have 2 reloading manuals, one handgun, one rifle, both paperback "Lyman Load Data". I have to reference most of my data from powder MFR's web sites and forums to cross-reference starting loads with the inability to find the same powders the next time I am in the market with the shortage and all. It seems to be getting better, but...

I would like to invest in a Reloading Book/Manual that has most available powders listed.

(Google turns up nothing useful that I am looking for with no double-quotes in query "AA4064 'reloading manual'" "'Accurate 4064' 'reloading book'", and "'reloading book' 'accurate 4064'" etc)

Is this wishful thinking, or does one outshine the rest-in terms of powders listed?

Unforunately there really is no, 'do-all' reloading manual. Most of the bullet manufacturer manuals focus on their projectiles as opposed to powders. So you're pretty much stuck with buying each MFGs respective reloading manuals.

IIRC Ramshot shares a data table with Accurate powder, and there may be some loads that are listed at one website but not the other.

One of these days I'm going to have to print out these powder MFGs so I'll always have it within reach like my other reloading manuals.

I have a shelf full of reloading manuals and still can't find everything I want.

Midway USA sells a book series, one book one caliber. Look for load map also. Loadbooks USA publishes the one book one caliber series.
Online I use loaddata.com

Sierra book has the most powder listings per bullet weight ,,,,,that i own... Most of my books list 10-12 powders,,, sierra usually more and different powders.... Cheers...

Huh, I generally find the lee manual has the most listings for powder. I have all of the main ones and generally use the Lee the most. I also have those cheap little caliber specific manuals for quick reference. Compiled from everything else I have really but have holes.

[the86d]

Which has the most powders listed?

I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for a hardback with more data...

The lee manual has the most data ive seen in books.

[Full Clip]

The Lee Manual is pretty comprehensive. I also use the Nosler book.
I also rely heavily on the charts supplied by the powder manufacturers, and have a binder full of them, as well as online sources.
There is no "complete end-all" text.

Lee has a ton, but tends to be a bit more conservative then others (in my experience).

Not a bad thing, but something to keep in mind.

sent from my damn tappy device...

I dont own a lee book so cant compare it to the sierra for ya... Cheers...

[Ninask]

There is a paperback publication that lists a very large reloadind list of recipes, one for each caliber, its mostly recipes with little other axillary info,
see if I can't find the title

The Complete Reloading Manual

This x100

I'm pretty happy with the latest Hornady manual. Great data on the 7.62x54R, 223 Rem/5.56mm, and 9mm. Along with data using the newer powders like Power Pistol and CFE 223.

Everyone might benefit from this one...

The lee manual has the most data ive seen in books.

+1

The Book of Lee is like 600+ pages, MOST of which are load data.


The BoLee has just about every powder for lead or Jwords.

The BoLee is what you want. It is NOT complete, but it beats all other books hands down if you are wanting to see what kinds of powders and bullets have been tested and not limit the selection to only ten bullets/powders...

OP is chasing a unicorn at this point if they think there is ONE book that has everything. Reloading is a living document that changes each and every day a little at a time.

HOWEVER

Because I collect and have gotten quite good at hunting things down, I have something I found recently so if you wanna see something REALLY cool that might satisfy you for a lil bit, then Click here...

I can only show you the way...

Oh yes, and what you do with this information is ALL on you. AND as always, verify the loads you will find. And on a final word, please keep in mind, this was a reloader, not a programmer that made this...
