2 In looking at your cartridge powder loading!
Posted by M A Matteson on May 25th 2025
I feel that it wasn't up to speed. I have been reloading for 58 yrs now. I have a great many reloading manuals starting back then. I load for several rifles, shotguns, and pistols. Your twist rate show okay. I note on 220 Swift you are showing 3580fps in a 55gr bullet. That's a long ways under what they normally are doing 3900fps for the same gr bullet. it a proving load. Not over pressure. I probable will not get a update manual in the next fuel years.

Missing reloading data for shotgun reloading of 12 gauge 1 oz, 7/8 oz, 24 gm and 16 gauge. All of that information was in the 2024 basic Reloading Manual, but missing in 2025?

2 Missing Load Data
Posted by Mark Hall on Feb 7th 2025
Hello, missing 1ounce load data for shotshells. Not sure why it has been deleted from previous editions. Would not purchase again and have informed our shooters at our gun club that I operate.

3 Basic Reloading Manual
Posted by Frank R Messina on Feb 1st 2025
It is basic as stated, however I believe putting the $5.00 towards the full manual is money better spent.
