| The rifle manual should be from the bullet brand you are going to use. Sierra, Nosler, Speer etc.

| Why pay Lee for 20 yr old data when you can get modern info from the same sources for free? If all you need is some solid data to get you started Hodgdon, Alliant, Ramshot, ect all have it on their web sites and offer free pamphlets for the asking. If you want bullet specific data, go to the bullet manufactures manuals.

+100% The Lyman manual has actual pressure test figures and you can get a good cross section of powders and bullets. Just note carefully what bullets are being used as you cannot replace the bullet and expect same results.

| I tend to choose manuals from the Bullet manufactures I use first... then the powder Manufactures I use.
So if you plan to use Nosler bullets get a Nosler get a Nosler manual…
If you expand bullet manufactures (Hornady, Speer…) get their manuals.
Then I would get the powder manufactures that I use manuals.
After that I get anything that interest me |
