The March American Rifleman has an ad for "Modern Reloading, Second Edition". The ad makes this new book appear to be very bullet caster friendly.
It seems to address some cast bullet subjects largely ignored by most manuals. Anybody have one yet? What do you think? The ad is trying to tell me I need one! Regards, curmudgeon

I just got around to reading the first edition and I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it.

The first edition is a waste of trees, and I paid for my copy. After reading it and checking off the Lee equipment I've retired, junked or traded off at a loss, I decided that Lee isn't getting any more of my money.

For a very accurate book review:

Very enlightening article. I think I'll pass on this one.
lar.

Ken Marsh, the 'author' of the 'review', really vents nothing but a bitch session per this 'review'. Yes, the book is less than worth reading, but there's a few items-- albeit of merit I dunno. The four squares method of determining a reduced loading per cast is one item I haven't used. Lee's 'mother load' of reduced chgs for cast don't get much play it seems to me. These are the mid range fuels-- 4064, 4320 etc, which IMO experience do work well.

But by and large Lee comes across as a midland tinker-er, not really original and creative in his reloading ideas or thinking. I really doubt he could write a good cast book w/o someone holding his hand and feeding him relavent copy.
