    Lyman 50th edition Reloading manual is out

    I picked one up at the NRAAM in Louisville. Just thought I'd give you all a "heads-up". Haven't had time to go through it yet so I don't know what's new.

    Thanks, will keep an eye out for it. I always consult my Lyman manuals when considering a new load.

    It'll be my fifth manual. 46th through 50th.

    I'll be looking for one. I find it useful to have each edition. I have from 35 on. You find load data in one edition that isn't in the next or vice versa. I refer most often to editions 44-curent. The older ones have less loading data but can be useful if working with obsolete molds. Of all the different publishers, Lyman manuals are the most useful in my opinion, although having other is helpful.

    ^ Agreed. I sold all but my Lyman manuals.
