I'll have to double check, might have made a typo when typing on the tablet.
Favorite reloading manual?

My go to is Hodgdon online followed by Hornady. I just read the reloading portion of the first edition of the Lee manual. It is very entertaining for a reloading manual. Richard Lee is quite amusing and very proud of his products. I don't think I'll trade my Dillon for a Lee progressive yet, but I admire his style.

Since I reload mostly cast my usual go to's are:
1) Lyman Cast #3 and #4
2) Hornady , I like Hornady jacketed rifle bullets
3) Speer manuals have a lot of data for cast, swaged and jacketed
bullets for handgun and rifle.
The Hornady book was my very first because it was the only one that had data for 1911 7.5 Schmidt-Ruben (Swiss)...we are talking late 60's here.

I don't really have a 'favorite', but there is a standard process I go through when developing a load. I first will consult the bullet manufacturer's data (Hornady, Speer, Sierra, etc.), compare that with the powder manufacturer's data (Hodgden, IMR, Alliant, etc.), and then follow all of that up with the Lyman. That's the short list.

And, I still sit on the couch and read reloading manuals while the TV drones on. Glad to know that I'm in good company in that respect.
