Was looking for the Hodgdon Annual and saw the new Lyman 50th reloading manual, hardback for the same price as paperback! Couldn't pass it up, of course. ;-) Been perusing it a bit and for some reason (other than the hardback) I am enjoying it more than previous editions. Can't put my finger on "why".
Think I'll shut this 'puter thing down and see if I can figure it out.

It's the color illustrations, admit it.

I have always liked the Lyman manual, but still like to keep several different ones. My powders are the old standards and rifles are mostly older calibers and milsurps. I have the 49th and was wondering if the 50th has anything new on the older rounds ?

I am sure it is a fine manual I would like to have it but would it really be of any real benefit for my older stuff ?

I think I might get one cause my 49th is falling apart and its gonna be put in files with other load data from other sources, in other words torn the rest of the way apart and put with my printouts from all the bullet and powder companies.
