2025 Basic Reloading Manual

I got this manual and was looking forward to the 16 gauge data. I did not fin it in the manual. I know it is online, I like having it not on my computer also.

i guess I was spoiled by the website. I couldn't believe there were no 7/8 or 1 oz 12 ga loads. also no 28 or 410 loads. I was disappointed to say the least.

Is good reference new reloader

Good updated information for reference

I mostly reload obsolete calibers. A good reference for Newbie's to the fun of reloading and honing in on their recipe preferences.

Excellent product; it has all the information I need to successfully reload.

Good stuff

There are 55 rifle powders and 28 pistol powders from the 5 powder brands covered in this manual. It is all covered in less than 10 pages for rifle and 3 pages for pistol. A lot of cartridges are left out. More important, there is some questionable, possibly dangerous data for some cartridges that are usually chambered in the AR-15. The direct impingement gas system of the AR-15 is intended to use medium burn rate powders, and not slow burning powders, they can create unusually high pressure in the bolt and carrier, especially in carbine and pistol gas tube lengths. Yet this manual has data for very slow burning powders for cartridges that are intended for the AR-15. In addition there is little data for some of the best powders for the AR-15. Also, there is no information on barrel length.

Very good condensed manual. Quite a few popular calibers and loading data.
