Reloading manual suggestions

[drose40]

Now that I have a press (9mm Lee 1000) and Bill Chevalier's ABC's of Reloading, I'd like to add in another manual. Chevalier's manual is general but I'm looking for a reference book with more specific detail.

What do you think of Dave Brennan's Reloading Guide? I like the spiral binding so the the book lays flat when using it. But the binding is not a good reason to buy a book.

Suggestions for another manual?

Thanks,
Dan

This really belongs in the reloading section:

I load mostly Hodgden powders (IMR, Winchester and Hodgdon) so that one tops my list for the first manual I go to. Second would be the Lyman manual since it covers cast lead bullets far more then any other book.

The books you have are very general purpose books and not very good for working up loads, though they are great starters books. They take you through the process of reloading and all the neat gear you can use.

Almost every bullet manufacturer makes it's own load manual and these are fine for their particular bullets. So there are manuals from places like Hornady, Speers etc.

You're right. I recalled the reloading forum after I hit the "Enter" key.

I use the Sierra, Speer, RamShot (Free) and Nosler reloading manuals.
