I need a new reloading manual

[Deavis]

Hodgdon lists 12 loads in 357Mag and 15 in 38 with CFE Pistol. I didnt check the 38+P but .3 to .5gr typically makes that pressure delta. If you are shooting in a 357Mag, you have plenty of leeway in +P if you just want a little oomph using a little thought.

Go on Amazon and look for them used, you can get deals on them and honestly, I prefer the newer ones to the old ones. Should be able to score a Lyman, hornady, and speer cheap. They cover a lot of ground.

Old manuals are always a great source for a lot of powders. If your gun is new, check with the manufacturer. Second hand book stores have lots of old manuals.

I like lees second edition manual and Hornady’s reloading app on my phone.

Always cross-reference with multiple sources
Older recommendations tend to be less lawyer-conservative
DuPont load data from years past is my Bible.

I forgot to post I got a Lyman’s 50th from a seller on arfcom.

Haven’t done any reloading but I have my truck and Beemer back so now I can rent a car dolly and take the Honda to get a catalytic converter and inspected.

My try out some loads this morning before work.
