In terms of gear, isn't knowledge the most important piece? And the best way to gain knowledge is online or books.

So in my never ending quest to improve, I was curious about books to prioritize getting?
I was looking at:

1.) Ryan Cleckner's long range shooting handbook
2.) Zediker's Top grade ammo OR Handloading for Competition
3.) Litz's series

For Bryan Litz's series, which books would be most important to get?

Not knowing what your experience and knowledge is, it's hard to recommend what might help you.

If you're new to Long Range Precision shooting some instruction would be a good place to start.

I've read Cleckner's book and Litz's "Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooter" and can recommend both.
 
Reloading:
-I'm comfortable reloading rounds to get SDs between 15-20 fps, and would like to get my SDs consistantly under 15 fps.
-I've read a ton from Panhandle Precision/accurateshooter/6.5guys, cleckner's video series, and here.


Shooting:
-I ended up taking a course at the sig academy, precision scoped rifle 101.
-10 shooting courses between rifles/pistols
-USMC infantry training
-Bullseye shooting
-Ungodly amounts of rounds down range just this year alone.

Right now if you have a Kindle you can get a few of Litz's book for free with Kindle unlimited (there is a 30day free trial I thin).

Excellent books btw, I dont know if I really learned alot but its some interesting reading.
 
Exactly what I wanted to hear. I was curious if the Litz series was important in terms of improvement of skills.
