That's the place we've been warned about being scammers, thanks though.

I just use their online reloading info rather than buying the manual.

Used reloading manuals can be found at gun shows for a more reasonable price.

Get several different ones. You will need to interpolate the data as they will not all be the same.

Go forth safely. Some guns will not be able to handle some of the charted max charges.

Go on line for the newest powders.

Oh yeah, read the front of all different books before the loading charts. Some things to be learned there.

Just my 2 cents.

Load data is a good source for on-line reloading.

A manual is great. I have one of their older ones. When I look up new data, I just look online and print it off. It is very cool that they supply that information online for us. I'm assuming you do not have a printer?

I had a Barnes #4 manual I bought on ebay for $55.The reason I bought it was because I like you wanted a hard copy where I could just reach for it and have the data now. I looked it over, found alot of the data and powders used to be very antiquated and outdated. I was also disappointed that when it was printed they had just released the TTSX line of bullets but there was no data in that manual for those bullets. I've gotten to where i no longer shoot many Barnes or monolithic style bullets, so after I read it through over about a years time I sold it for $50 I think. I don't feel like I'm missing much by not having it on my shelf especially since I have about a dozen others ranging for 1980ish to 2021.

Good luck in your search

Thanks for the info, the ttsx line is what I was hoping for. In the past I just got the info online but like to read other information, not just load data. Might just as well forget about volume and wait for the next.

It's too bad Sierra just recently came out with their new manual or they may have been able to include the Barnes data. although twice in the past they offered a "supplement" to their manual that was current at the time. Maybe they'll do that again with Barnes data.

Although I like my manuals (I kinda' collect handloading manuals) the Hodgdon's magazine style manual that is published each year makes a lot of sense. Hodgdon was able to include Western Powder data in their 2022 manual, a year after they bought Western.
