The phrase, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.", is especially applicable to reloading. There is a wealth of valuable and critical INTRODUCTORY information in any good reloading manual, extremely worthy of close study. Also, it is a huge mistake to think of any one manual as a reliable "cook book", EVEN IF YOU USE ONLY THAT MANUFACTURER'S BRAND OF BULLETS. There are variables galore ...... and as if that weren't enough, you will eventually find TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS (!!) in the loading data. Of course, if you only had one manual to refer to, you quite likely would not catch it until after picking up whatever pieces are left of yourself and your firearm. These manuals are your most valuable reloading tools, and easily the biggest bargains, but not one of them can stand alone. I'm sure YOU will do fine, as you've shown the good sense to load up on what amounts to countless thousands of hours of ballistics testing and research in EACH of the 3 books you now own. As far as which maximum is the real maximum, remember these manuals are only guides, not bibles. Each INDIVIDUAL FIREARM is an entity unto itself, and will react at least somewhat differently than any and all others. ENJOY! [Linked Image] LC
