A Useful Reference-with one caveat3
I bought this book on the strength of good reviews in Amazon. The only weakness I have found is the imprecise identification of powder manufacturers in the reloading tables. An example are the references to "No. 9" or "No. 2" powders. These are probably Accurate Arms- series powders but could be mistaken for Hodgdon or Hercules products with similar numeric designations. A preface to the tables, giving the author's abbreviation conventions, would have been useful in a reference used by both beginners and advanced handloaders. Safety and clear, non-ambiguous tables are a must. Check the Measured Density tables starting on pg 45 for powder ID's before using the Reloading Tables.

This manual is an excellent reference book.5
It covers a wide range of powders including both older and newer ones. My friends and I have found that this manual's reloading instructions are great for both the novice and more experienced reloaders. I have found that it covers calibers not found in other manuals and also lists bullets from several different manufacturers. I highly reccomend this book to other reloaders.

A great reference for beginner or expert5
I can't imagine a better manual. It is well illustrated, and written in an easy-to-follow, personable manner, as if the author is talking directly to you. It book delivers a clear, concise explanation of every step of the reloading process, discusses the different types of reloading components and their uses, impartially reviews the different reloading tools, and discusses the pros and cons of darn near everything covered.

The reloading tables are extensive and cover a wide range of powders and bullet weights. The book even includes a brief history of every cartridge covered (a plus for the curious)!

This is definitely a book that any reloader can use. Plenty of value for the money.
