I've been out of loading for a while, but recently fired up the presses again. I have an older Speer loading manual that I use (the .40 S&W is not in it if that tells you the age), but I am looking to pick up the best, most comprehensive manual(s) for my money right now. $50-75 max is what I am willing to spend. I was considering "Ken Water's Pet Loads". Does anyone have any experience with this book and do you recommend it or not? If I buy that manual, I should have enough left over to purchase a manufacturer's manual as well.
I am mostly a handgun shooter (dept. quals, regular plinking, hunting, and occasionally GSSF/IDPA), but I shoot some rifle as well. I am interested in loading 9mm--.45acp, .38spl--.44 magnum, .22 centerfires, .308 and the occasional belted magnum.
Any recommendations are welcome, but please include what the manual specializes in and why you like it best. As I understand, some are swayed heavily toward rifle, others pistol, and some just like to pimp their reloading gear to you.
Thanks.
