Great manual to have as a referance
As a reloader having this manual as a referance is very important. I not only use this book for Speer bullets but also any other brand that is the same weight. I can also compare powder charges and at times find a different powder used by Speer for the same weight bullet. In today's world my powder selection is pretty limited. Chapters 3 through 11 contain all kinds of useful information I review all the time.

Very nice manual, my second favorite
I want to try some Speer bullets so I picked up this manual, I have a lot of manuals but there is always room for one more! The only bad thing I can say about it is the printing is very small but my eyes are not the best so it may just be me. I like how the information is set up and displayed. Just wish they had a larger print version for us old farts!

A new go to reload book
Easy to read per caliper with new and updated information. I am developing loads for my new 300 Blackout and this has been helpful.

Good Resource for Shelf
I have used Speer Manuals for decades. I was disappointed with this one. I had no information on various cartridges that are in circulation that I would expected to be there. Just got a sense, Speer was just "checking a box" with this #15.

Not like they used to be
No chamber pressures listed for loads. No "most accurate" load designation for each cartridge-bullet data. No for load data for the .224 62gr Gold Dot bullet in the 22-250 and for the 222 Rem Mag which needs to be reloaded due to unavailability of factory ammo. Lacking several other standardized "older" cartridges that have seen listed in current other brands manuals. Lots of data for 223 & 5.56 and all sorts of the newer Magnum cartridges in different calibers. I suggest that you personally preview this before buying to be sure it lists what you need
