Hey guys, I was wondering if anybody who owns this book could tell me if this book contains data , and charts and such only, or if it is an instructional book also.

If this is not a suitable instructional book for a beginer, could you guys recomend one?

I've read most of the stickies that pertain to beginers, but I think I need more info about all the tools that are required, and how to use them before I start making purchases.

I've seen some of the kits on Midway, but I'm sure they don't come with absolutely everything as far as tools go that I would need. I was hoping to find some detailed info on this in book form if possible.

Thanks guys,   BD

Many years ago I "taught" myself to reload with the lyman manual that came with my lyman reloading kit . This is a good basic step by step guide for pistol or rifle reloading that is very well laid out and easy to follow with great photos and diagrams .

I would be the first person to sugest multiple sources for data (lyman is one of the ones I always use) but this handbook is a great general book for the starting reloader.

Use with confidence!

Thanks nhsport, for the reply. I think I will get a copy as my first source of info. I just wanted to run it by you guys, and see if it was suitable for me.  BD

The Lyman # 49 is a most excellent reloading manual.

Has Jacketed and Cast loads for rifles and pistols.

Also has a great "how to reload" section.

If I could only have 1 reloading manual, it would be the Lyman 49.

I look up a lot of loads as I read the threads, unless a brand of bullet is specified, the Lyman gets opened first.

Same here  - nice as it bolds most accurate rounds tested, best hunting load IIRC.

I need some more books though . . .
