Wow, cr0ck1, you sure are a wealth of smarts. I was just fixin to ask you or nacho which book would be best. I have the powder, dies, primers, and bullets, but I gotta get the actual tools and eqt to start loadin my own shells.

I made this forum to help. And im happy i could help you.

Sure did. I knew the thing about not using black powder, but not which book was best. Saved me a bunch of trial and error buying crap books. Thanks again.

Not gonna happen man. I don't push the envelope when it comes to ammo. Everything's got to be just so. Only way. If you don't respect em, they'll bite ya. Gonna have to get the book on the new Hornady no-lead bullets now. I heard that the downrange performance with them is sweet if you load them right.

Don't jump the gun like was already said Read the book
some powders like hp-38 versus imr4227 one you need only 3grns the other maybe 20
and you'll get the same Pressure out of a certain cartridge
If you add 2 or 3 grns on the HP you may Blow your Gun up or damage it
another grn or two it maybe your Life

Read the Library is your friend you can even get DVDs there so its more of a hands on
ALONG with book(s) Crook gave you a good one there are a few
But Get a good BASIC Book you'll use it for years so the dollar amount you Pay
Will last a Lifetime Or Safe a Life

Good safe shooting too ya
