Excelente idea, I may be heading that way in the near future since my wife needs to have her checkup up at the proton therapy center.

DITTO,
Been using the Lyman book for decades. They have always appeared to be impartial to Mfg's slant and post a pretty broad spread of powders and projectiles. I've always found more than enough info to establish or extrapolate a good starting point and safe load limits.

Da
![]() Every time I think about buying a manual I look at the thousands of loads I will never use. I could go through a whole manual and need maybe 15-20 pages of it and even then all the same info is online. Call me a sinner but I just don't see the need for thick dusty manuals. Unless there is the loss of the internet and even then I have notes about all my load data. I think I'm good.

Wow you're a sinner for sure. I think purchasing a manual is a good buy or two but I don't agree with buying a newer version every few years. Data rarely changes and powder companies know this. But pump out a new versions they will make lots of money on old info. They might tweak numbers to create the illusion of updates but its a ploy I believe. Online is a great source if you use trusted places. But at least have one manual

I got the Lyman 49 when I first started reloading again, mainly for the diversity of load data, plus it has one of the best "how to reload" sections. I picked up the Hornady 9th edition because it had some load data that the Lyman didn't have. Since I generally stick to Hodgdon/IMR/Winchester powders, I get the annual Hodgdon magazine for $6.00.

If you are looking for load data for pistols there is the reloading guide for pistols on Amazon. I picked one up for $14. It has 554 loads for 45 acp, 92 loads for 45 +p, 564 loads for 9mm luger, 125 loads for 9mm luger +p.

Wow... I've heard confessions before, (try sitting in an Airport terminal for two or three hours while wearing a collar and suit, I only did it once. Won't ever do it again. There are a whole bunch of men and women cheating on each other out there in the real world!) but I have never had to absolve someone of the sin of not owning a reloading manual. I have the one that came with my RCBS Rockchucker Supreme kit (Speer #14). It has served me well. I can certainly attest to the fact that I don't need the other 400 or so pages, but hey... I got it as part of the kit. But we're not here to talk about me. You have asked for confession/absolution, so before I give absolution, there must be penance. For your penance, I require that you write a short note on this thread singing the praises of ![]() Good luck! Da ![]()
