Good books on reloading/accuracy/benchrest shooting.

Looking to add to my library. Needing some ideas for good reading material in the above related topics. I've got the two book set from P.O. Ackley and also one called "High Power Rifle Accuracy-Before You Shoot" by Douglas Arnold but would like some more. Anybody have "Handloading for Competition" or "Rifle Accuracy Facts", "Accurizing The Factory Rifle", "The Benchrest Shooting Primer" or "Understanding Ballistics"?

Glen Zediker's "Handloading for Competition" is excellent. He sees the World with the eyes of a high power shooter (as opposed to a benchrester), and his style is a bit wordy. This is still the best book I have come across for precision handloading, though.

Handloading for Competition is detailed, comprehensive, and recommended. Zediker has his own opinions, a couple that may not be universally accepted, but he doesn't leave anything out. Highly educational once you've fathomed his writing style. You'll spend a lot of time with this one.
