Books

gcsod45 · 03-18-2008, 04:06 AM

Hey anyone out there got any books on beginning reloading that they would be willing to part with? Let me know.

Good luck, most guys will keep their old books forever. I know I will. There are a lot of good manuals out there, visit your local gun shop. They really aren't all that expensive.

Wasn't really concerned about the price. Local gun shop doesn't carry reloading books

Hornady sell a reloading book. Hornady Manufacturing, Inc.

Check out Cabelas, they have books.

Might I suggest checking book stores, the ones that primarily handle used books that is. Sometimes people donate relatives/spouses/family etc.etc.etc. stuff after they pass away. Just a thought.

I had a bood I think was titled "Getting Started In Reloading", but that was 30 years ago, it did have a lot of good info for a beginner. RCBS makes a video, I would assume it's worthwhile:

Handloading Video (VHS)

Thanks everyone for all the great ideals

i got a ton of them from the library through interlibrary loan.

you can get them from all over the country for nothing.

SwedeSteve · 03-21-2008, 08:05 PM

Great idea Billy! I gotta remember that for later.

Library, don't you eventually have to return them though? Or did you buy them from the library? Enlighten me. lol

Walmart, K-Mart, And Bass Pro shops carried Reloading manuals, and Gun Shows are a good place to find them as well...

If after you get the first book and decide you want to pursue reloading, get 3 or 4 or 5 or more manuals based on the bullets you have interest in. The more the merrier !

a lot of the books were for true beginners and had info you really only need to read once.
reloading books with loading data i scanned the pages of the calibers of firearms i owned.

and THEN i started buying reloading books because i knew what i wanted/needed.

when my gun collecting went nuts all of a sudden i needed info on a bunch of different calibers.

SwedeSteve · 03-22-2008, 04:41 PM

Ooooops! I forgot! I'm not allowed in Libraries and Post Offices anymore.

billy · 03-23-2008, 11:20 AM

ok son,
what in the world did you do this time?

Cyrille · 03-23-2008, 02:16 PM

I know you can get a book titled "The A B C's of Reloading from Barnes & Noble But don't look for much else there.

Midway has the Lee reloading manual listed for $14. It has several large sections in the front that are on the basics of reloading, followed by reloading information for various calibers.

If you go to Amazon and put "reloading" in the search bar, you get a lot of titles back. Go through and find inexpensive ones. For $30-40 you can get 3 or 4 different books. But, if you buy from individuals instead of Amazon, you pay s&h on each book. However, you can get used books from individuals at prices so that even with the cost of s&h, sometimes the price is still really low.

And, when you get to the point of wanting load books, the "Loadbooks USA" are compilations of the different major reloading manuals that are single caliber books. They are normally around $7 at Midway, and sometimes are on sale.

The websites for the different powder companies also have downloadable manuals for their powders. Sometimes they're limited on the calibers they offer, but what they have is free and up to date.

The plain old nosler reloading guide has some good information at the begging. It is the 6 edition.

just_a_car · 03-26-2008, 10:30 PM

I got my four books from a used book store called Half Price Books and they came rather cheaply. I got one published by the NRA in 1981 and even the "ABC's of Reloading".
