I'm looking for another comprehensive manual to complement my Lyman's 47th and Speer 13, but I'm holding out for one that has new-fangled cartridge loads, particularly .260 Remington and .45 super/.450 triton SMC, but also preferably things like .357 sig, .400 corbon, etc. Any such animal exist, and from what purchasing source?

I just received my copy of the Lyman 48th Reloading Handbook. The Lee Modern Reloading, Second Edition has more loads in it.

sierra's newest has all the short mags, the ultra mags, and quite a few ack-imp cartridges. seems quite comprehensive.

i have lyman's latest, too, but the sierra has more in it (though the lyman has the short mags and ultra mags, too).

really looking forward to speer's newest. i have #13 and it is the closest to reflecting the real world loads i am coming up w/ in my rifles... but it has no short mag stuff in it (which i need).

K, do either the new Lyman's or Sierra have:

260 Rem or
.45 super?

thanks.

Does Lyman 48 include more modern powders? I have Lyman 47 and its usefulness is limited by its focus on older Alliant and IMR powders.

Futo Inu,
The new Lyman has loads for the 260 Rem but not for the 45 Super.

As a retired commercial reloader I really appreciated the older "Tried and True" powders. They have been made, and tested and used for generations by championship competitiors and the information concerning them is extremely reliable.

Bulseye has been a mainstaye in Bullseye competition but WW231 meters more accurately. It takes less BE for the same FPS than 231 and there fore is more economical. and 700X takes less powder also.

There are an awful lot of choices these days. and I will take the old tried and true for my competition anyday. I don't need to buy any new reloading books, or new calibers as the 2700 has its reliable calibers and loads. I would rather work on my physical abilities rather than experimenting with something newfangled.

I have no objection to seeing Bullseye and Unique listed for every cartridge. But seriously, who loads 9mm with SR7625? I'd rather see loads for Titegroup and 3N37. And even though Bullseye, 231, and 700-X are still good powders for loading .45ACP, those loads have been in every book for decades, how about some loads for WST, American Select, or N310?

MoNsTeR-have tried SR7625 in 9mm. Got load from Water's re-prints. Most accuarte mid level load with 115 gn jacketed bullets tried yet.:D
