I am looking for a more inclusive reloading manual. I currently have the nosler manual that came with my rcbs kit but it leave a lot to be desired.

lyman 50th, and the hornady 9th would be great additions. you can also grab caliber specific manuals if you wanted to go that route. another great resource to be able to referance is www.loaddata.com. it costs to be a member, but it has tons of loads for different calibers all from different sources.

Thanks I'll have to check out load data. I'd love a web based source because I always have my phone with me.

what bullets do you use the most?What powders? Alliant will send you a free book if you go to their website. Hodgdon data is free online.
Use kindle on your phone and buy the Kindle version of the Hornady manual and the Lyman manual for $19.99 each.
Lee is a good one, and the Hornady 10th is pretty good. I have no less than 10, and I grab new ones when they come out
No doubt. I learned Nosler lets you download the individual sections for free after I bought the book. I have at least 2 of each except the Lee bookQuote:

Try that one for sure, it is a combination of most of the books out there
Right now I'm loading 9mm berrys hybrid hollow points and will probably use those as well when I get around to loading 45acp. Have some published info for the berrys but nothing on the hollow point. I'm trying to stay away from the "brand name" hollow points due to price. I bought a single caliber book for 9mm and was able to figure it out from there. If I have to buy one of those for each caliber I load so be it.

I tend to use the Hornady and Lee manuals the most because they have the most info for the bullets and powder I use. I also often check the Hodgdon website. Both manuals are available at Cabelas, Amazon, and some Walmarts for a decent price.
I kind of like having the Nosler book around anyhow. A bit quicker to just grab it off the shelf and look-up something.Quote:

I have the book. Learned about the page after. Otherwise I would just print what I need and store on shelf.Quote:

You cannot have too many manuals (and online resources) but my two main go to books are Lymans 49th and Richard Lee's manual. I also spend a lot of time using Hodgdon's site since I mostly use their powders.
I tend to lean on Hornady 10, Lyman 50 but also like the Lee & Nosler.

I get all the manuals. When the new ones come out I update. My favorite is the Lyman 50th.
Tonight I picked up the Western Powders Reloading Guide. I like their Tac & Big Game powders so figured I’d get it. Really nice.
