Hi folks,
I began reloading shot shells a few years back when I was heavily into skeet, but recently decided it's time I started reloading brass as well. After endless hours reading forum posts, watching youtube videos, etc. to get the general idea, I picked up the Lyman 50th Edition Reloading Manual to go through (for "proper" instruction) before I get started.
I'm glad I got it, and am pleased with the beginning chapters that go through the process in detail (which after all was my main reason for buying it). But I'm a bit bummed at how little loading data there is here for 9mm (which is what I'm going to be reloading initially). I obviously have access to loading data from the various powder companies as well, but I'd like to pick up another book or two to have access to a wider selection of recipes. Are there any in particular that I should be taking a hard look at for 9mm (or handgun in general) loading data? I'm wondering if the Hornady or Speer books might have more recipes, just to cover all their bullet offerings? For what it's worth, I plan to eventually be using a lot of RMR bullets. I know I won't find any load data specifically for those bullets, but want to have access to a decent collection of recipes so that I have a good chance of finding something close to use as a starting point.
Thanks!
