Book Review: Hornady Reloading Handbook
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using Hornady manuals for 30+ years because of the wide variety of cartridges listed. I have odd ball guns like 6.5 and 7.7 Japanese that are not listed in other manuals. Also, Hornady Ballistic Tables are now listed online instead of in the book. I also like the special section in this addition for the M1 Garand, (a section for .308 Service Rifles as well). I buy a new manual every few years because of new cartridges being introduced. You will still need to look online for the newest cartridges like 6XC, 6.5 Creedmore, 6.5 Grendel that are too new for this 2007 edition. Check out [...] for great information on target and benchrest calibers.Book Review: Good manual
Summary: 4 Stars
This, and the Nosler book, are what I refer to most often. And that's how I judge how useful it is. I particularly like the layout as it makes it fast and easy to get to the relevant information.
However, the Nosler book is more useful in the quick working up of accurate loads.
I also have the Lee and Lyman manuals, and they're all handy. I recommend gettting as many manuals as possible. They're handy for cross reference, since none of the manuals are perfect. Some are better than others in their own way.

Book Review: Hornady manual
Summary: 5 Stars
A first rate book for all gun enthusiasts even if you don't handload. Describes each cartridge commonly used for handguns and rifles, then gives detailed technical data on powder types and volumes to achieve various velocities. This book is essential for handloading, but very informative for those wanting to learn more about ammunition. It is a large book with high quality paper with great color. This volume does not have ballistic tables as previous editions did but those tables are availabe online for free.Book Review: Best of the lot.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned alot of manuals over the years, and I used to give a slight edge to Sierra's, but since Sierra changed to the loose leaf style, the Hornady is now my manual of choice due not only to the vast quantity of quality data, but it's just easier to manipulate through the data. TEHO. The price of $15.00 on sale didnt hurt either. Any serious reloader will have several manuals to cover it all, but the Hornady should definately be one of them.
