minky Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Just starting the wonderful hobby of reloading. What is the best book on reloading? I looked over the ABC's of reloading, looked good but maybe not my first choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDH Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I dove into the reloading world last year. I got the Hornady 9th edition and the Lyman 50th edition. I don't know what you plan to reload but I would look for the most up to date manuals available to start. They are more likely to have data on the newest bullets and powders. I'm a Hornady bullet fan so the Hornady manual was an obvious choice for me. There is a Hornady 10th edition that came out soon after I purchased mine. However I do use some other bullets like Sierra and Speer which the Lyman handbook has some good info on. I currently am only reloading 243 win. and 44 mag. I have a 300 win mag and a 35 Whelen I will be working up loads for once I get enough used brass. Most veteran reloaders say you cant have enough reloading manuals.

minky Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 I am reloading for a .22-250 using Hornady bullets. A Hornady reloading book would be a good investment for me. I will be test firing my first reloads soon. For me, I want to save a little on my shooting cost rather then make hot loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
