Great Reloading Guide

By DOUGLAS

from Toledo, OH

Had this book almost a month now. Loaded with great info for both the novice and "expert" reloader. Wish it had listed more powders for each caliber, but there is more than enough to get started.

Expanded from the 8th edition. Most complete edition form Hornaday yet. Worth the price.

Fantastic book

By Maxx

from Baltimore, Md

I am new to reloading and this book was extremely helpful. Even gives you help with accuracy problems. The information helped me to sub-MOA for my 250 Savage.

Biggest yet, with several new cartridges

By Dr J B Boren

from Amarillo, TX

The new Hornady 9th edition is bigger than ever, with over 915 pages total. There are the usual prefaces and introduction pages, and in this edition about 50 pages of basic reloading instructions, which come with some very nice color illustrations and cut-away drawings of internal ballistics and such. There is an adequate (but not great) powder burn rate chart with 146 powders, a primer chart (useful), and a basic description of each of their bullet types (and a chart with min/max velocity recommendations...a very important and useful feature, especially for hunters).

Each cartridge has a very brief write-up (no celebrities, just Hornady staff writers/manual editor) with some basic history and a few important details about the cartridge. The data itself is in the same format as past manuals with velocities in 50- or 100-fps increments rather than exact numbers, which is a better way to report it, in my opinion, since handloading is a stochastic (and not a deterministic) science. I've answered quite a few questions from new reloaders about why their manual says they should be getting 2864 fps from a load and they are only getting 2832 fps in their rifle. The velocity ranges help keep that detail a little clearer.

One thing Hornady has never done is give in-chart accuracy recommendations, though they do give some recommendations in the write-ups of each cartridge for a preferred powder or two. If they are using pressure test barrels primarily, this makes sense. When using a specific gun for which a cartridge is popular (like the 30-30 Win in the Winchester Model 94 for example), an accuracy recommendation makes more sense.

Hornady was more focused on adding new cartridges than deleting old ones, as can be seen in my list below. One new thing they are doing makes a lot of sense to me: they are putting data for some obsolete cartridges on their web site. This saves a lot of money in printing costs, and still allows the reloader with Grandpa's Model 94 in 219 Zipper to get access to loading data. Good move. There are five cartridges so indicated in this edition (the 219 Zipper, the 219 Donaldson Wasp, the 7x61 Sharpe & Hart, 270 REN, and the 357-44 Bain & Davis). Here are the other changes since the 8th edition.

Great Up To Date Manual from Hornady

By Bart Schairer

from Hammonton, NJ

The last Hornady manual I got was the 6th edition so this review is in relation to that edition (reviews said that the 7th edition hadn't added any new calibers, so I skipped editions 7 & 8). The 9th edition has added many new calibers as well as new powders so I no longer have to go to the powder manufacturers' web sites for load data. This edition appears very up to date but keep in mind I don't work in the industry so for all I know more calibers and powders are now available that I'm not aware of that may not be included. Calibers that I found in this 9th edition that were not in the 6th edition include:

Handguns: 500 S&W Magnum, 50 Action Express, 460 S&W Magnum.

Rifles: 500 Nitro Express, 505 Gibbs, 50 Beowulf, 470 Nitro Express, 450 Nitro Express, 450 Bushmaster, 404 Jeffrey, 416 Barrett, 416 Ruger, 450/400 Nitro Express, 375 Ruger, 9.3 X 62, 300 Whisper/ACC Blackout, 30 Remington AR, 6.8 Remington SPC, 6.5 Creedmoor, 204 Ruger, 17 Remington, 17 Remington Fireball, 17 Hornet.

I'm sure I missed some so my list may not be complete.

New handgun powders I noticed listed are Lil' Gun, Enforcer, and Power Pro 300-MP. I'm a handgunner so I'm not attempting to list new rifle powders but I'm sure there are plenty of new rifle powders as well.

For me this is money well spent. I'm now up to date on all the latest Hornady projectiles and appropriate load data and I'll have loads of fun reading about all the new rifle calibers that I know so little about.
