Hey @Willie, I've got a good location here. Send 'em up and I'll look after them for ya.

If you can buy the reloading book that has the same components as what you are going to use. eg Hornady Book for Hornady bullets. You can use books like Nick Harvey's for various different companies bullets of the same weight. Have used his load info for many years and has always been good.
I have several different books like Noslar, Barnes , etc and it's good to compare loads from different companies but sometimes there are quite large differences in load info using the same powders etc. You can't have to many hand loading Books.

This is going to get expensive- so many new things to buy

Sideshows link alone will cost me. Damn you internet your managing to loosen a Scotsman's wallet- almost as rare as seeing a Scottish player in the Lions tour!

I learnt using Nick Harvey's book, but I also use load data from the ADI website and whatever else I can find for the projectiles I'm using.

i have the hornady and adi manuals. but most of the info is there on their websites

I have 2. The Berger book as I have been shooting their bullets and either they are more conservative or the long body of their projectiles generate more resistance and hence pressure. They are often a grain or 2 lighter than say hodgdons on line loads for a similar weight hornandy Amax.
I also have an old Hornandy manual and it's definitely got hotter loads than the current Hodgdons on line data. It's impossible to know how much the powder has changed in 40 years.
