Found yet another.......the Lee reloading manual. Someone posted that Midway had them on sale for about $9. Always find something interesting in all manuals, so picked up one, and with savings, got the Hornady book too.
If using Lee equipment, the manual is essential. It explains a lot. But beyond that, it includes a whole slew of tables and references that I've not seen anywhere else. Things like measured case capacity in cubic centimeters for each caliber load data is provided, along with tables that allow you to calculate what a full case of any powder would weigh. Plus the load data (book is 90% load data) includes a reference to the dippers, cc's of powder etc. How they were developed, how they work. Things that correspond to their systems. Plus the powder selection for any given load is about 3X what most include. Impressive and very helpful.
Somewhere in the book is a reference to their Challenger reloading kit.....and mention that for the small volume guy wanting to reload to factory or better specs, it would be all a person would ever need. That would be me. Had someone suggested that kit to me when I was starting out, I would have rejected it outright. No way possible for it to be any good at that price. Had to be junk. In fact, if memory serves, I think someone did mention and I did reject it......and was a bit disappointed when that was what become available and I decided to make do. Experience has proven me wrong.
BTW, Hornady book is good to for it's purpose. For the calibers I'm loading for, Hornady bullets have been available when others are not. So having data specific to those bullets is helpful. Also curious that while the powder selections are pretty small, they tend to list the all stars. And is the only published load data I've seen that also includes Shooter's World powders.
