Just curious to see what people have for manuals. I've only been reloading for a month, but actually bought several manuals before I bought one piece of equipment.

Here is what I have:

Chevalier "ABC's of Reloading, 8th Edition"
Lee "Modern Reloading Second Edition"
Loadbooks USA "45 ACP" Reloading Manual
Lyman "Pistol and Revolver: Reloading Handbook: Third Edition"
Sierra "5th Edition Rifle and Pistol Manual of Reloading Data"
Speer "Reloading Manual #14"
Gun Guides Reloading Guide for Pistols " 9mm Luger, 357 SIG, 40 S&W, and 45 ACP"
Hodgdon 2007 Manual (and their Online Reloading Data Center (http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp))

[MMCSRET]

Lyman/Ideal handbooks from # 35 on up, most of the Speer and Hornady manuals, pamphlets published. All of the Hercules/Alliant pamphlets from 1972 up. Hodgdon manuals and pamphlets from middle 60's up. Winchester Guides from 1967 up. Every issue of Handloader starting with #1 in 1967. All Dupont/IMR from 1971 up. All Accurate pamphlets and books. And a lot of misc. not cataloged, including some from Australia.

My library just about mirrors MMCSRET's library, including Handloader Magazine, all in binders. You can't have too much information.

There is always something to learn about reloading.

Hope this helps.

Same here.

All the manufactures pamphlets going way back, as well as most editions of Lyman, Speer, Hornady, Lee, & others.

I also keep all "Rifle" & "Reloader" mags in year book binders. I don't have them all, back to the #1 issues, but wish I did. I was too poor to buy subscriptions there for awhile back then.

Also kept all the old "Shooting Times", back before they fired Rick Jamison as the reloading technical editor.

Just about ready to spring for the $67.25 "Ken Waters' Pet Loads, Complete Volume" book now.

Oh, and Lyman #49, if they ever get around to printing them someday!

rcmodel,

I do have some duplicates of Handloader Magazine that I bought on ebay to fill out my collection, including an extra copy of issue #1. I'll sell them for what I paid for them, plus postage.

If interested, PM me and I'll send you a list of my duplicates.

So, if my financial situation suddenly spikes, you guys think this would be a worthwhile investment?
