Speer Reloading Manual and Amazon

[MajorHal]

Based on some input I received from a recent post I decided to procure an additional reloading manual published by speer. The speer reloading manual #14, out of stock everywhere except amazon:

Reloading Manual #14 by Speer Bullets (2007)
$349.99 new (2 offers)
$232.75 used (5 offer

this has to be a misprint?

HA!! I went looking the other day, same results. Flea Bay was about the same. Midway said , maybe end of June. so I backordered. Cancelled that backorder when I found one at the gun show for a regular price. $33.95 + tax.

Some online book gouger without a clue about our hobby, trying to fleece a newbee reloader that needs one NOW.

Ran into the same issue with Amazon and Redding Imperial Sizing Wax. One vendor has the 2 oz tin for $34.99, and the 1 oz tin for $32.99.

Thought I had stumbled across a set of RCBS 9mm Carbide dies on Amazon ($63.95 free shipping). A little high but not full colonscopy these days. Click on the item and found this "Usually ships within 1 to 2 months."

If that wasn't so insane it would almost be funny. That Sir is crazy, no it's not a misprint. I think Speer is going to come out with a new edition also.

Buy the New Hornady #9 for $41.00 and put the Speer on Back order somewhere

The Lyman 49 is good also

If you shot lead bullets the Lyman CAST is the best.

Not everything sold on Amazon is actually sold by Amazon. I have seen those prices at times and IMO they are mistakes. I bought a Speer #9 last week in almost new condition for only $9.99 so the good buys are out there.

I'm waiting on the new Speer with all the Deep Curl rifle data. I kniw they have it downloadable from their website right now, but if I'm going to buy their manual, might as well wait till 1) they come in at a reasonable price and 2) they have all the data in there so I don't have loose printed pages flapping around.

Might just go with the Sierra book though. Still haven't decided which bullet I want to use for my rifles. Leaning toward the bonded Speer, but Sierra seems to be eaiser to find (under normal circumstances, not this crazed time).
