Lee Precision Modern Reloading 2nd Edition New Format Apparel – January 1, 2003

If you are a reloader you need this manual. Although it sometimes reads like a Lee promotional, sales, book it still contains a wealth of reloading information.

An absolute must if you’re into reloading. Loads of information, you will not regret it!

High quality hard bound book. Lee Reloading probably looses money on every book they sell at this price. Lots of information on reloading and load data. Also a lot of advertising for Lee products, that’s why the book is so cheap. Well worth the money!

My husband reloads and has purchased two other reloading manuals with disappointing results in that they showed a limited amount of information. This manual is very detailed--it has three pages of information he wanted need where the others only had three or four lines. Highly recommend.

This is a good book on reloading, but I was disappointed that it does not show any energy figures in the ballistics. Also, I was surprised to find that a load for a 38 special with a 158 grain bullet using Clays powder was not in the book. Since a 38 special is so common, and Clays powder and a 158 grain cast bullet are probably some of the most common components used today, I would have thought it would be in there. These were the first things I wanted to look up when the book arrived, so I was naturally a little disappointed.However, there is a lot of good info in what is a good quality well-written book.If anyone is interested, I use 2.5 grains of Clays behind a hard cast 158 grain bullet which makes a good medium load for a 38 Special. I use the same setting on my powder measure and just pull the lever twice for 5.0 grains when I load for my 45 Long Colt, and my 44 Magnum using hard cast bullets of 230 and 240 grains respectively. This is a fairly mild load for a 44 Magnum, but it is pleasant to shoot and still delivers quite a wallop. But you will have to buy another book, or calculate the energy, because it is not shown in this book.UPDATE:I found the loading data I was missing so I owe an apology to Mr Lee. Now if it just had energy figures I would give it five stars..

Great Book it has all the information you need.

Great book, still in original wrapper. I highlighted the powders I'm using with yellow.Then highlighted in red the max charges..Great book of reload data.. easy to read..

Packed with very useful information, more than any other reloading manual. I'm glad I bought it. So many useful articles and reloading data.
