[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 305415, member: 4885"] I have Hornady, Sierra, Lyman, Nosler, and a book called "Metallic Cartridge Reloading" by M.L. McPherson. I use them all, of all the introductory sections that should be a must read by all beginners, the book by M.L. McPherson is the most complete. It's first 80 pages are a good introduction to reloading. Here is the table of contents Introduction 6 1) Case Inspection 8 2) Case Preparation 11 3) Case Sorting 18 4) Case maintenance 22 5) Boxer Primers 28 6) Smokeless Powders 33 7) Bullet Types and Performance 50 8) Seating bullets 60 9) Internal Ballistics 66 10) External Ballistics 72 11) Bullet Making 75 12) Reloading presses 80 The book is 352 pages and is filled with reloading data after the introdution. The reloading data is a compilation of the different powder companies. I looked it up on Amazon and they now want nearly $100 for the book! I paid $21 several years ago. Even though I have several reloading manuals, I use the internet's load data (powder manufacturers) and my version of Quickload as my main source of loads. I've seen older reloading manuals for cheap at used book stores, since the processes have not changed and the powder/bullet manufacturers have so much online data, I'd recommend looking at used book stores and reading the intro's to reloading from as many books as possible.
