Just getting into reloading. I bought the Sierra reloading manual.I also own "The ABC's of reloading". Do I really need to buy another since most of the bullet and powder manufacturers list reloading data on thier websites?

Eventually you should pick up manuals as they come up on sale, or you find one at a garage sale or auction, and so on. And sometimes you just need to buy a new manual.

If it doesn't stretch you, I recommend the new Hornady 7th Edition manual, partly because it has several loads that will be hard to find elsewhere.

Thats just the thing. I don't need a load for 577 TYRANNOSAUR. I own a couple AR's and a M1 Garand barreled for .308 that I will be loading for and thats it.

Cheap words. You'll stick to that plan about a year or so, and then wham!, you've got three more types of powder and four more sets of dies.

I would think that with ABC's and the Sierra book in hand, and the Hodgdon Data Centre online that you will be fine, until you get a hankering for something new.

The more guns you have the more you are going to want to reload. It's an addiction that can only be solved by "properly" disposing of ammunition.
