[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1922524, member: 2736"] For a good comparison between manuals, I recommend a couple of manuals from a bullet maker, and a couple from a powder maker. You will find that bullet makers show lots of different powders with their bullets, and the powder makers will show many different bullets with their powder. This is done to make there product look best but it does give you a good perspective of how different powders perform and how bullets perform. If you are ever at a gun show, look for some of the older manuals to find a better cross section of powders and bullets. The problems with this is that they will not have some of the newer powders and bullets listed. The up side of the older manuals is that they were tested using a pressure gun and have real world results, Not calculated pressures and velocities. They are also good reading and have good instructions for the beginner. Many of the newer manuals are not much more than a catalog to sell there products. So go to a book store or gun show and try to look through as many reloading manuals as possible to find the one that is best for you. I have over 30 loading manuals that I have collected over many years and often refer to any one of them for different things. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
