So I did a little calculation and realized that I'd be paying about $0.50 per round if I reloaded as opposed to the $1.50 or so I pay now when you figure in shipping. I assumed 5 reloads per cartridge, but from what I hear, it can be more, which would drive the cost down even further. And once I get good at it, the ammo will be more accurate than the BHG match I shoot now.
My conclusion? Time to start reloading! Based on the excellent Reloading 101 post in here, I decided to start by buying and reading some manuals. But I have no idea which ones! I will probably buy the Sierra book because I will most likely be using their bullets, but should I buy another as well?
Doc's post suggests buying one book that's more of a load "recipe book" and another that's more of how-to guide for the reloading process. Will the Sierra book accomplish both? If not, which one should I get? I looked on Amazon and found The ABCs of Reloading Is this a good one? Any other recommendations? Thanks!
