ABCs of Reloading....
You don't have to read the whole book - I've read my Speer reloading manual's instructional/knowledge part and its only 20 pages or so. I don't have the Lyman book but have heard good things. It shouldn't matter which one you read first - if you have questions, bring them here! Austin |

If you are starting, it is the way to go. After getting the basics, anything you read in the other manuals will be easy to assimilate.

Sure the Speer book is 1149 pages, but have you opened it? You don't need to read all the data for each caliber known to mankind...
Just read the first couple introductory chapters, and the information paragraph next to whatever cartridge you are going to reload. You don't need to know the data - the book is a reference to look things up in. You just need to know how to safely make your own reloads. Austin |

the speer book was recommend by my local shop. I have not looked at either book yet as i ordered them online and have not received them at this time. As i talked to the man at the shop i mentioned the ABC book and he told me that the Speer book was better. So that is what i got.

The Speer book is a load manual. The ABC's book is a how to. Read the ABC's, then read the load manual.
