ABC's of Reloading by Bill Chevalier, 8th Edition. Great for either novice or expert reloaders. This book teaches you how to reload, what to look for and how to overfcome problems. This is NOT a loading manual like that put out by bullet and powder manufactures with detailed load information. But I highly recommend it for new reloaders to learn how to properly reload so you don't hurt yourself or destroy your weapon. And I've seen even experienced guys blow up their rifles trying cute stunts. And as much as you'll hear and read about being careful not to "overload" a rd, "under loading" will get you just as much a destroyed rifle. Didn't happen to me, but did to a friend whose been shootin weapons for 35 yrs+. He has the pictures to show what happens to a rifle when your powder load is under the minimum recommended in a loading manual. It's amazing what destruction occurred to a beautful new Savage .223 bolt gun. Bottom line, this is fun, but can be dangerous if you don't pay attention and try and get cute. So take your time and don't rush things. Learn the basics and have "loads" of fun like the rest of us.
