I need a new reloading manual

[xdmikey]

I've been too dependent on handloads.org or .com and since they went tits up I'm floundering.

A manual with the newer powders is what I'm searching for. I'll check out 10Ring for those loadbooksusa pamplets but I don't have much hope for that.

Thanks

The manufacturer's website is a great source of data especially for newer powders.

I really like my Lee and Lyman books too.

I looked and it gave one load for 158 gr with cfe pistol, just a max load and a jacketed bullet.

I thought CFE was for rifles and CFP was for pistols.

What are you loading for? 38 spl or 357 perhaps?

Well, I know this guy who won't swap them again. And they are CFE, and CFE-223.

I have the Lee, Lyman, Hornday and Nosler books. Sometimes the manufacturer has great info on their bullets. Thats why I have the Hornady and Lyman books.

I like to cross reference the manuals against each other. They rarely are an exact match.

@Army1911, the older manuals would list 38, 38+P then 357.

Didn’t make it to 10Ring yet but there’s always tomorrow.

CFE Pistol, CFE 223, and CFE BLK. The labels are similar but the powder is different I assure you.

I doubt you'll find a manual with all the new powders in it. Manuals typically lag 2-3 years behind new powders.

The newest manual on the market is the Sierra #6. A great manual if you use their bullets. Not so much if you don't.

 

[xdmikey]

I got you.

I guess I'll eventually use up the 30+ #s of CFE pistol but not in 38, 38+p nor 357mag.

Fortunately I have a pound or two of 231 I think.

Not much, but they have it here:

Thanks.

I just got off the phone with Norm at 10Ring and he directed me to go to that site, enter #1 then go to #4!

I was going to 2, 3 then 4 and it left me no choices!

I need a recipe for WST for the 9mm...

I know, I know, WST is a shotgun powder...

 

[xdmikey]

Sorry pbratton, all I'm seeing is people saying neither of those play well together.

45, 38, yeah buddy but not 9mm.

I use a lot of CFE pistol in .38 & milder .357's. I use it in .44 all too. I've found it to be a pretty versatile powder and it's available at my local Academy!

 

[robertc1024]

Uh, that was supposed to be .44 spl.

My main manual is the Lyman 49th edition. I hear the Hornady 9th edition is also a very nice manual.

For those that are too frugal to buy a manual, the info is out there.

You can also often find older reloading manuals online. Here's the Lyman 48th edition manual.

[deemus]

For $20ish its worth it to me. I like the Hornady manuals. Lots of info on their bullets in there.

I think I have the 50th Lyman now too. I like the Lyman books.

WST is an awesome .45 ACP powder. However it's a bit fast for 9mm. There are some loads out there. Take a look at the Brian Enos forum.
