Free reloading instructions and reloading data

[azar]

While I've only been reloading for a few years I've seen it's popularity grow rapidly in just that short time. Because of this, sites like this one often see a new reloader asking for commonly available load data or instructions. I thought I'd help out any new reloaders by posting links to the various available resources.

Thanks for the links. I just looked up and printed the reduced loads for kids. My books have no reduced loads in them. Wanting to load up rounds for a 9 year old to deer hunt with.

I assumed there was a place here that had links spelled out, but that I hadn't found it yet.

But I also didn't use reduced loads for the kids. Had my youngest shooting a 12 ga. at the age of 10.
