I'm looking for a good How to book on reloading. Anyone have suggestions on which to find?

ABCs of Handloading is good for basic info. Covers the basics pretty well.
You will learn far more at the casting, loading, and shooting bench than you ever will at a computer bench.
Get in line for this one:

wrongway,
I prefer the Lyman manuals and the Lee manual...as they make the equipment I use, and the first half of there manual is a general "HOW TO", but they include the use of their equipment.
While, I find it's easiest to read 'paper' manuals, and they can be bought from many sources, there are plenty online for free if you don't mind reading them from you computer or other E-device.
At the bottom of this page, the "castpics" link has a wealth of info, including some scanned reloading manuals...here is a short cut to them.

Here is a link to Lee's 1st edition "Modern Reloading"

Possibly my favorite is "NICK HARVEY'S Practical Reloading Manual"
http://www.hawkbullets.com/harvey.htm
you can find it on amazon...but Hawk is cheaper.

Get the Lyman manual. Most of the other manuals I've seen give you a bit of info but the Lyman covers all of the basics.
