Yes, the manual bunches 95gr and 100gr together. There are other instances where bullets of similar wt. are given the same load data. This gives you a place to start to fine tune. You may find that there is not a big difference between the performance of the 100 and 95 grain bullets.I own several reloading manuals, and several editions of some of those over the years (Sierra; Speer; Lyman; Lee; Hornady; Hodgdon etc.) and I like the Nosler better than all the rest put together. I would also recommend the Lee book for its engineering and theory content.

Yes....but please note: This is just my opinion. If you are buying this book solely for it's reloading data, you will find it is limited. They use specific bullets and recommend specific powders. To me, they are biased and recommend certain brands for bullets and powders. I find most of my reloading data online. There are man resources online where you can find suggestions for powder and bullets. IF you are buying this book as a stand by reference and you are new to reloading ammunition, then this book is good for starters. I have a copy, I keep it around, but I find it is only good for reading about the history of rounds. Yes....but please note: This is just my opinion.

They show using Federal 210 large rifle primers, they have the specs for 125 gr Jacketed SPT, 150 gr Jacketed SP, 174 gr Jacketed RN, 180 gr Jacketed SPT, and 200 gr Alloy, they show different powders and starting grains and max grains per type of powder used, also have all the dimensions of the case and OAL of finished round. I found this book to be loaded with information, I highly recommend it. Hope this helps.

Yes it is a good book for the beginner. I would also recommend that you get some of the other reloading manuals that are available (Hornady, Nosler, etc.) for comparison purposes. I don't know of any experienced reloader who relies on only one data resource.

I don't know but the one I bought from Amazon is not accurate. The reading creeps up. It took a while to figure out . I bought another scale . I would like to return this one. With the hornady name I expected it to be a good product. It was up to three grains high on some 30-06 reloads using IMR 4350. The one I got us very poor product and could be dangerous.

Rich: I don't have my packaging anymore but it did list all the calibers it did support. I suggest you go to Butler Creek web site and look at the detail about the product. The key to the whole thing was the thickness of the magazine. the website on the magazine is www.maglula.com hope this helps

You might look in the 3rd edition of Lymans Cast Bullet Handbook to get your loads. I found loads there unavailable in the newer manual.

if you buy the kit you get the basic gear you need minus he caliber dies that will be needed for the type of bullet you want to make that is a separate charge. If you are just getting started in reloading it was a good setup. I bought a digital scale and a few more dies and a turret spare because I reload rifle and pistol bullets and i did not want to reset the dies each time i used it. if you plan to reload more than a few hundred bullets i would just get the press and get the other components (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utFnbwtNoP0), digital grain scale, and a few dies, decapping pins, and primers, powder specific to the bullet being made. if you buy the kit you get the basic gear you need minus he caliber dies that will be needed for the type of bullet you want to make that is a separate charge.

Guessing that is a question and probably something out there it isn't suitable to reload, but I have no idea what that would be. Dillon lists 4 triple column pages of shell plates and they are very accessible at 800 223-4570 for any specific questions. When it gets to the largest round I shoot 300 Win Mag, I hand load them with a single stage, but I don't fire that many and every charge is trickled dead-nuts. The Dillon 550 and 650 are for cranking out large numbers.

It has load data for the 223, which is the same difference. I use it for my 223/5.56 loads. This is one of the most commonly loaded calibers, so any loading manual will have data on it.

Hey no problem. I would get their phone number from amazon and contact them by phone with my issue. (always remember to get names, date and time of day that you spoke with them down.)Then if they are not cooperative, "demand every penny back!" I have the AIM SPORTS bandolier, but the wording on it is black rubber without the white letters as yours has. It does not look like mine. Mine is 2 & 2/8" wide with a 56 round capacity of 2 3/4" shells. Some have 3"shells but I mostly use the best self defense round in my humble opinion, "#4 shot." I have plenty of the 00 buck and 00 Magnum buck shells but unless you are a good aim the higher shell capacity means you have to have a good aim like a rifle. Trust me the #4 shot will do just as much damage with a wider pattern. But as far as the belt goes, if it is an AIM Sports product then send it back for either a refund or exchange on their dime. Many times when you can contact them, they just say, "I am sorry, you got the wrong bandolier, we will ship you the correct 56 round one at no extra charge and you may keep the first one we sent you. (That's mostly because it is not worth the packaging they have to send you, then pay the delivery charge.) Trust me, they don't want you getting (amazon) involved as it gives them a black eye in (amazon's case) Just contact them and see what they say, but if you don't get the 56 round or they give you a hard time then "report them to amazon absolutely." Remember persistence, persistence, persistence as in today's society most people just give up. But if you are persistent, you will get what you paid for. As an old man let me tell you "it's the squeaky wheel that gets the oil." Good Luck!!

I tried the weight, did not help me. I used Lee Dippers, which I checked on my beam scale. For me, the results are within .1 to .2 grains. good enough for me 'cause I load 90% Max.

It's a really good kit for a beginner. I knew nothing about reloading when I started. I'm currently reloading 308, 30-06, 25-06. The only thing you will need is bullets, powder, primers, and brass. A digital scale is nicer to have but the one it comes with works well.

Yes, for 240gr JHP, 300gr JHP, 250gr Barnes XPB and. 255gr and 325gr lead bullet. Check out Lee Modern Reloading. It's a compilation of published loads so you tend to find all of them there. It has data for over twenty 454 Casull bullets. I'm not really all that impressed with Lyman 49. Nothing beats my Lee manual.

Humm, well I haven't been reloading in a while now but when I did I tumbled around 100 to 150 .223 Remington each time with the tumbler about half full of Lyman Turbo Tumbler corncob green #7631394 Media. And I let it run 2 to 5 hrs. Brass came out real nice. So whatever that weights it works fine.

It differs in the fact that it deals exclusively with cast bullets. It contains a great deal of info concerning the casting of your own bullets. Alloys, technique, safety, the whole gamut. Finally, lots of loading data. This loading data uses not only their profiles but also some of their competitors'. It is truly a complete source of cast bullet data. Nothing else comes near.

im in the process of converting from 9mm to .223 and what i have found is that for only a little more money i can buy a while new press because you need the dies -33$, shell plate -27$ , case feeder -25$, bubble disk power drop 15$, rifle charge die -12$, extra tool head -20$, so the math says $132 and for about $100 more you can buy another press all set up and since i can tell you that the load master is a very finicky press i would much rather just spend the extra money and set it up and not have to do a complete caliber change over
