I just finished reading all the posts in a thread that makes the point of consulting manuals before jumping into reloading. I agree fully. Anyone who reloads needs to consult at least one, preferably more manuals before starting to reload a particular cartridge.
I've only been reloading about 10 years and during that time I haven't had any guidance other than 4 or 5 manuals and this board and one or two others.
Per the title of this post, I just purchased a new book on reloading. The name is Metallic Cartridge Reloading by
Mic Mcpherson. He is one of my favorite writers. I tried to read everything he wrote in Precision Shooting before it closed.
I'm sure that some will disagree, but this book is not a book of loads for a multitude of cartridges. It treats each component of a cartridge fully and in depth. It also treats the complete cartridge in a way that helps me understand the process better. I've only skimmed thru it so far and intend to go back to the beginning and read each chapter in detail. I expect it will take me the better part of a year.
Each subject is treated in depth and with many illustrations and photos. I have seen explanations of things that I have wondered about for a long time in various threads on this forum. This book has in depth treatment of many of those reloading aspects.
I'm not sure a recommendation is in order but it sure fills the bill for me.
I hope someone else has seen fit to purchase the book and will post their opinion.
