Good for Beginners,
This review is from: Handloader's Digest (Paperback)
This is a good introduction to the world of reloading. Being new, I can't tell what other important facts it's missing yet, but it is a good introduction to the basic concepts. I can't picture myself referring back to this book very often, so it might be better to look to your local library or find a friend that has one lying around. The authors gives a lot of historical data of how reloading progressed, which is unnecessary, but could be interesting to some.

This review is from: Handloader's Digest (Paperback)
The book is more of a sales catalog then a handloading digest. A lot of the information is from the product sheets you would receive if you purchased the products. Little is provided on actual reloading technique. It would be better to borrow a copy or find one at a library. After you peruse it once you will not need it again.

This review is from: Handloader's Digest (Paperback)
As with any book, it depends on what you're looking for as to whether it is relevant to you. This one has a catalog of parts and suppliers in the back. It also contains useful tables of data such as cartridge case capacities and the like. In the front, there are several good articles, my favorite of which is an investigation of which handloading techniques bear the most fruit in accuracy. This article and the data tables alone made the purchase worthwhile to me. This book won't teach you how to handload although you will learn some useful knowledge about handloading from it and of course it contains some reference data (not load data though).
If you are looking for a book to teach you handloading, I would recommend two books: The ABC's of Reloading and Lyman's 48th Edition Reloading Handbook. Lyman's has load data, The ABC's does not.
