Don't give up hunting for stuff like that especially if you still have the reloading equipment and components. My 1970 balance beam still works. I bought a digital scale about 10 years ago thinking it might speed up the process, but I always check its powder drops with the balance beam (it always measures the same-so, so much for speeding things up). Get a Lyman reloading manual (I have 4 but you only need one) If your rifles are in older standard calibers (.270, 30-06, .243, .30-30 etc.) an older manual like the 44th or 46th edition will give you lots of info (including 5 or more loads to try out) and all include primers to use, starting loads and maximum loads, factory matching loads (in velocity) and most accurate loads-most accurate are not always most accurate in a given rifle, but you get a starting point. You do not need the Lyman 50th Anniversary Version that weighs 10 pounds if you don't shoot a Lapua, 6.5 Creedmoor, or other (newer, in the last 10-15 years) calibers, and, man, there are lots of them. My sentiments on most accurate load: testing several different loads off the bench at the range to find out which one suits you and your rifle. Then repeat the process with other calibers you own. If you have two rifles of the same caliber, don't count on the same reload working to your satisfaction in both of them. Since it sounds like you have reloaded in the past you may want to skim over the preamble of the manual just as a refresher and for safety. Hope you can keep on with your hunting adventures for as long as you are physically able to. And as for books that don't suck, try reading the westerns by Louis L'Amour and books by Zane Grey. If you can find them, also try articles by Warren Page (gun editor of Outdoor Life and Jack O'Conner gun editor of Field & Stream). It's possible I may have who they wrote for backwards. Jack was older and a big proponent of the .270 Winchester as that was the flatest shooting caliber he had ever seen. Warren was somewhat younger and a big proponent of the 7MM Remington Magnum when it came along. The arguments that were carried back and forth between them and their respective magazines was something to behold, and sometimes, humorous. Best to you and be safe.
