    Good Luck and very cool, I have the same 3 Speer books. I'm really sorry I dumped the American Rifleman and G&A. I had Pops collection from 1960 to 1995.

    I have a couple of those, including the Lee Modern Reloading manual. Quite the difference between the first and second editions. I keep thinking I should toss most of my old reloading books on e-bay. It looks like people collect them.

    I own every one of those and more. All bought new when they came out. Are still very relevant today. Just a side note, a couple of those I bought a few years before I ever loaded a single round. I was advised by an article by my hero Major George Nonte Jr. " If your interested in loading your own ammo, study up and get a manual or two" Since that's all I could afford at the time, I did just that.
    “You should tell someone what you know. There should be a history, so that men can learn from it.

    He smiled. “Men do not learn from history. Each generation believes itself brighter than the last, each believes it can survive the mistakes of the older ones. Each discovers each old thing and they throw up their hands and say ‘See! Look what I have found! Look upon what I know!’ And each believes it is something new.
