Hello All,
I recently purchased the 8th edition of the Hornady reloading manual, and I like it as long as I am loading Hornady bullets.
However, most of the bullets I have been buying at good prices are common but lower quality companies (Berry's, PRVI, X-Treme, etc.). I was hoping to get some input on which manual I should look for next that would have a wider range of bullet types to more closely approximate the loads I am creating.
For example, for 8x57 Mauser, I am using PRVI Partizan 175 gr. BT SP. Hornday lists a 170 gr. RN or 195 gr. SP with nothing in between (though there is data for much lighter/heavier bullets).
Short of buying caliber specific load books (which still don't include most of the info I am looking for), which manuals would you all recommend?
