What is YOUR favorite reloading manual and why?
I have several and my favorite is the Hornady. Not sure of the number but it came with two books. The second book had trajectories and ballistics. The only problem is that I can't find the first book.

Re: Favorite reloading manual

Reloading manuals are different inanimate objects; I have no favorite inanimate objects.

My chosen book at any given moment depends entirely on the cartridge I'm pursuing because some manuals have a better range of loads for the powder I wish to use. I find the widest range of data in the Lyman, Hodgdon and Lee manuals.
 
Re: Favorite reloading manual

I have ~50 reloading books and do not use any of them any more.

I hand load ~ 60 different cartridges, and more coming.

I find my starting load with Quickload.
I screw on the scope elevation turret based on what Quicktarget and my rangefinder says.
That is $150 for software, but I would not do without it for $1500.
