Best up to date reloading manual

[Shmelton]

I have recently started reloading, and I am using an older Hornaday, and Speer manual to get my data. What’s the newest manual you guys are using? I’m also thinking about going on manufacturers websites like Barnes and printing off the data there to put in a binder. It seems like as long as it’s a trusted source, that would be the best route…thoughts?

Hornady has an app. It is around 21.95 per year or you can subscribe to individual calibers for 3 or 4 bucks. The yearly subscription gives you a hard copy of the latest Hornady Manual.

If you are new, just use this, and buy similar bullets.

If you want the speer manual, hornady, VV, all of it together in 1 book, get this.

Do you typically look at the projectile manufacturer or powder manufacturer, or both

Depends if I happen to have a powder or bullet I want to work up. These days it’s mostly powder but I did stock up after our last shortage. I will check to see if both have data on the bullet and powder. I have loaded for many years so I do feel comfortable working up various loads.

Sierra has one too that is free and very user friendly.

Hodgdon and Alliant have their data online free. So does Speer. Hornady and Sierra charge for their manuals/data. You can usually find an abbreviated Hodgdon manual at stores that sale gun powder. You can request a free manual from Alliant and they will mail it to you.
