Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

30 years ago my first wife convinced the judge that all my reloading gear should go to her. At the time my favorite manual had allthe old military rounds listed. Now when I get back into reloading both Lyman and Spear have very few.
What is the best reloading manual for surplus rifle ammo? :kap:

Sierra #5 has some but I don.t think it has all of them. If you go to some place that has a copy look at the back cover as the list is on it.

For just one, I like Lyman #49. They list cast & jacketed loads with ones that show the greatest accuracy potential. Hornady seems to be the most conservative. SW

My go to manual is the Lee Modern Reloading Second Edition. It seems to have the most recipes, and has the ONLY recipes for copper plated bullets I've seen out there.
