| Since I'm not finding the load data I need for Unique in the Lee manuel or Online, Im in the market for a new manuel and also powder. I'm currently loading 45 acp and have 165 grain FMJ projectiles for 40 cal. I'm also going to start loading 9mm in the very near future. Which manuel has the most bang for its buck and which powder should I switch to???? I was thinking tightgroup for powder.... I'm stumped on which manuel. any advise and suggestions are appreciated.... Thx! |

Quoted:
Lyman's 49th is a good one to add to your reloading bench. +1, one of the best manuals out there. Lots of jacketed and cast bullet data. Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook #4 (the current one) has cast bullet loads for 160, 170, 180, 185, 200, 215, 225, and 230 gr cast bullets in 45 ACP using Unique for all of those bullet weights. |
Looks like I'll be purchasing a few other manuels this week. Thx for the suggestions! I've been happy with uniques performance in my 230 grain loads but havent found the data in lee's book for the .40 cal projectiles available in my area... I have a place that has a ton of zero bullets and I swear I'm the only person who buys them.....
