Precision reloading Techniques

Hi guys,

I don't know if this has been asked and answered or not.

Is there a good book for the precision reloader?
I am looking for some good reading material. I have the manuals and have read them. I am looking for more towards the benchrest reloading.

Thanks,

Tim

Take a gander at these: http://www.sinclairintl.com/product/5819/Books-Magazines and http://www.sinclairintl.com/product/5818/Books-Magazines. I own both. They're excellent.

Although not a book, you might also want to check these out: http://www.varmintal.com/arelo.htm and http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/category/reloading/ [243 articles!]. ;)
 
I have several fairly good advanced books. The best I've found, by a wide margin, is "Precision Shooting Reloading Guide", Dave Brennan, and its price is modest. The biggest disappointment was Glen Zediker's "Handloading for Competition", far too much chatty chaff for the few kernals of really useful info.

I do want a copy of Sinclair's book.
 
Thanks abintx.
That is just what I was looking for.

Born and raised in NM, you probably don't hear this from us much but you got to love Texas.
Been watching politics closely and think you guys are as good as it gets right now.

I'm of two minds about that book. Ultimately, I really like it since it does contain quite a few good pieces of information and ways of looking at things.

However, it has a few problems. The cheap binding falls apart. There's no index.

What drives me the battiest is this - The author says he has a degree in English from Ole Miss and that this gives him permission to take liberties with the language. He doesn't take liberties, though; he murders the language, outright. There's so many strained, irritatingly fake attempts to employ down-home homilies and a faux-Southern voice that I'm frequently tempted to throw it across the room. Far too often, it borders on unreadable.

Technically, it has some good stuff and I've recommended it more than once. But it sure is a pita to read, ain't it?
 
Actually, if you have good dies, good brass, and a chamber that is a good match to both, precision reloading is relatively easy. If one of the above is missing, it can be more difficult. Generally speaking advertising tends to draw the new shooter away from what is most important, dies. A FL die that barely moves the fired cases, properly set, and a seater that does not increase the runout beyond the projection of the angle of the sized neck to the case body, will go farther to increase the quality of reloads than any other thing I can think of. Beyond that, try to plan your projects around the availability of Lapua brass.
