Second, please reference established load manuals to confirm the safety of any load recipes or techniques discussed on this forum. Just ‘cuz Joe the plumber says 31 grains of H110 is great under a 158gr bullet in .357 magnum doesn’t mean you should go and try it out!!

Here are some links to the major powder companies’ online load data:

Hodgdon, Winchester, IMR, - http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp

Alliant - http://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/Index.htm

Accurate Arms - http://www.accuratepowder.com/reloading.htm

(If the brand you are using is not listed, please do a quick search online.)

For the person thinking about reloading, PLEASE first purchase a good reloading manual and READ IT THOROUGHLY before buying any equipment. Having a better understanding before you start buying stuff will save a lot of headache, money, and time. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have after reading your manual. There’s a lot of “art†to reloading, and you won’t learn much of that from a book!

Here are a couple other forums or websites that are also great resources for information on reloading.

What's a good book to pick up so I can learn the basics of reloading? I've never done it at all and am completely unfamiliar with the process but am interested in getting into it.

Any help appreciated!

I learned with this one. ABC's of Reloading. Then add Hornady Reloading Handbook and you should be set to start out.

Fantastic, thanks!

I'll read through these a few times then be back with more questions.

I would recommend reading multiple reloading books before one get started. The Lyman manuals are good ones also.
