OK, so I've been asked recently about "good reloading manuals for learning about bench rest reloading" and such. And, being sadly out of date I've suggested titles like "Precision Shooting Reloading Guide" and "Benchrest Shooting Primer" as well as Bill Gravatt's "Precision Shooting And Reloading Handbook"

WOW!

I had no idea.....

I've got Ratigan's book, Tony's book etc etc back to Glen Newick's stuff and every brand of "Reloading Manual" but none of them are as clearly and simply informative IMO...


I do not have the new Berger reloading Manual.


Are there any current offerings which explain the HOW and WHY of things like neck turning, seating depth, maintenance of concentricity etc??
 
To me, it's still the most informative work out there for shooters wanting to move into advanced loading techniques. The prices have jumped on them but they're still out there in the used market. Even at 2 'c' notes, it's worth it, IMO.

I stumbled upon one in an antique store in Stillwater, Minnesota, along with a signed edition of Jim Carmichel's 'Book Of The Rifle'. :cool:
 
Brennans Books,holy coww

The best way to learn is to attend a benchrest shooting school.

They are hosted by several clubs.

OK, you've got an ambiguous pronoun there, "it's". Who or what is "it's"?

edited JUST for Sarge........ notice my exquisite choice of losing the Oxford comma.....


or, had you noticed Adam that your choice of handle hints at military status? I'm guessing upon reflection that it's Gerald Adams, but in my mind it's "Adam, Sergeant"

From 'English Grammar and Style':

"It's is always the abbreviation of "it is" as in "It's (= it is) a nice day, isn't it?" Its is the possessive of "it" as in, "That is Morton's puppy but I don't know its name." In the second sentence, its means "belonging to it".

And from 'The Writer's Journal':

A very common mistake is to write its (the possessive form of it) when it's (the short form of it is) is required: It's [it is] unclear what he meant. It's [it has] been wonderful seeing you again.

OK, OK, I'm not trying to be a grammar Nazi. You said. "To me, it's still the most informative work out there for shooters wanting to move into advanced loading techniques."
All I wanted to find out is, what is the name of this most informative work? In your statement I don't know what "it's" refers to.

OK Al, my name is Gerald T Adams, hence adamsgt, and I was never a sergeant. An Airman First Class at one time. My avatar is a picture of a FB-111A torching. I used to fly those. The airplane had two afterburning engines with a fuel dump valve in between the exhaust. Sometimes, when we felt frisky, we'd dump fuel and then light the burners to ignite the stream of fuel. It was much more impressive at night. One crew did this at night at low level over a small town and generated a flurry of 911 UFO calls. The Wing Commander was not amused.
 
they START at 2 bills..it goes up to $500!

The 'Precision Shooting Reloading Guide'.

Link (once again) to referenced work......

https://www.amazon.com/Precision-Sh...477120327&sr=8-4&keywords=precision+reloading
 
Ohhhh the innernet is so funny!

I do know by now that EVEN FACE TO FACE I rarely can decipher from whence anyone comes but on the web, OH MY!

I am truly sorry, I completely misunderstood you LOL :) thought you was snipin' on Big Al

I didn't follow that link to Amazon. I was just going by what was on this site. I thought that link was just going to show a bunch of current reloading manuals for sale not out of print books. I would expect that on ebay.

For a current publication, Glen Zediker's 'Handloading For Competition' is pretty decent. If supplemented by some relevant (not relevent, as that is a third person plural present indicative) articles on neck turning/neck tension/seating depth, would give someone not already well versed in BR style loading techniques a pretty good base.

I do have the book you referenced by Glen Zediker and the one alinwa pointed to on Amazon.com. I also have Tony Boyer's Book, Mike Rattigan's book a couple of books by Bryan Litz and a plethora of other reloading books. I just wish I could put into practice what I get from the books.
 
I would have

This point in the thread makes me recall all the trouble I finished up getting myself into by calling a bullet a projectile. I won't make that mistake again. I had better add using words like it, its and it's to the list as well.

If you want another sticker shock, price "Rifle Accuracy Facts" by Vaughn. Saw it going for around $400 several years ago on abebooks.com.
