Superb read: Handloader’s Manual by Earl Naramore (1943)

[8mmFan]

I’m sure that many here have read this but, if you haven’t, check it out for an absolutely first-rate (long) experience of reading pleasure. Search on DuckDuckGo.com for Handloader’s Manual by Earl Naramore 1943. There’s a free download of the pdf. I started reading it about two years ago, got way into it, stored it in a file, and then forgot to finish it. I’ve been reading it for the last hour or so. It’s excellent and if you’re a handloader, you’ll probably love it. 400 pages of great stuff.

It is on my shelf.

If I am remembering correctly Mr Narramore and the grandfather of a friend of mine partnered in production of a TruLine Jr type press and dies.

I was up until almost 1 am reading it last night. Literally almost couldn’t stop. The section on powders, powder burn rates, pressures, etc., is fascinating. As are, I guess, all the other parts I’ve read so far. What a great resource. Literally a Doctorate-level course in reloading.

how many pages would the print out be? Do I need an extra black ink cartridge?

Seems to me there was a "readers digest version" of this floating around in the 70's
As something of this nature was the impetus for my purchase of a Lee Loader back when I was in the Canoe Club
Still have a couple of the originals from them days...and a room full of other "essentials"

Bought a hard copy in 1959 and still refer to it frequently.

400
200 double sided. Check ink prior to print start. If less than 15%, probably need to add...also check paper supply.

Also, they reached 400 pages setting the font to 14 pica, but that is NOT a complaint for these tired eyes, which are still getting "used to" reading "everything modern" and normal for today's "magazine font" in 10 pica .

I added this to my library earlier this year, great read.
Knowledge is the true power of this world...

I think I have a copy someplace.
Now if I could just remember where.
