Lyman 51st Reloading Handbook-Softcover

if you like to reload your own ammo, this is the guide book you want. The tables for loads are carefully researched, they provide factory loads and specs, variations for different powders, specs for cartridges etc. You can safely under-load (target practice without beating up your wrist or shouulder) or create magnum loads, knowing what the expected chamber pressures are (and for my use, where to keep loads within typical factory range). Handloaders (reloaders) usually do their own because they want repeatable consistency for accuracy. This is the book that helps you where your ammo is concerned.

Great manual. This is the latest if many. It contains all the information you need to produce reliable reloads.

This is an excellent resource for reloaders. This and the Lee Manuel are must haves for solid information about how and what of reloading. Since this hobby is potentially dangerous these books will guide you to safe practices. The load data is pretty good. I'm focusing on lead bullets and this manual covers those more fully than many other manuals. Its a virtue that it's not from a bullet maker. Even if your a long time reloader you will still find this useful. This is quite a bargain for what you get!!! Buy this book!!!

Great book! Lots of information! One of many manuals you should read if you are reloading.

If you are reloading this is a must have.

Overall I think the Lyman book tends to be one of the better ones on the market. The load data is well researched and gives some of the most information of any manual I have, it's well organized, and the loads are conservative on safety without being ridiculously underpowered. Because Lyman doesn't produce bullets, they give data for a really wide range and avoid being the giant ad catalogs that some manuals are. My one complaint is that some of their loads are tested at COLs that just aren't broadly used, and there's no data for some that are. For instance, they give data for 55gn .223 loaded at mag length (2.260") but most 55gn bullets are produced with the expectation that you're loading them at 2.200-2.220" (and you see this especially in cannelured bullets), and Lyman has no data for that length where every other manual does. That said, you should be checking multiple manuals anyway, and this excels in every other way.

One of the best manuals available. One of three that permanently resides on my side table so I can refer to it at any time. One of three I will buy every edition from now on.

Great first purchase for someone getting into reloading. It has many different calibers and bullets. Very easy to read and understand.

great info really up to date

Excelente precio. De gran utilidad

Great

Reçu légèrement abîmé mais pas de problème pour moi. Les pages de couverture sont peu être fragiles. Les explications du Lyman sont très claires et précises…par contre, les recettes de charge de poudre sont plus conservatrices que le livre Hornady. Mais c’est bien de comparer.
