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.
