I cannot emphasise enough how important for your well being owning and reading a good handloading manual is. It is as essential for handloading safety as a good analogue balance beam scale, not digital, and a set of check weights are

It should be a starting point not an afterthought after spending time getting your head scrambled by the 99% tosh that the internet serves up.

Every time you fire a rifle you are letting off a pipe bomb that you rest your cheek on ?!?!?!?!

On the range your and other peoples safety is your responsibility with handloads, the internet is the last place to find out about the process, get your manual now!

It will be worth every penny to you along with the people you shoot alongside and will help you make better use of places like this with better tailored questions.


Amen to that.

Post a picture of your new Lyman here when you get it and then PM/email me your address.

The book/binding is in good condition but the cover does have an oily thumb print on it.

And then there are some old .22 Hornets that shot .223 calibre.
Never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
