Thread: Recommended Reloading Reading

I started reloading in January (this year) so am vastly experienced. Started with hand me down Lee stuff and half a can of ADI 2208. Got some 223 dies, settled on 24 grains for 55 gr. bullets and am doing OK. Bought stuff I don’t need, bought stuff I wonder how I managed without. Now experimenting with 40, 45, 50 and 52 grain bullets, ADI Benchmark 1 and IMR 4198. I’m a bench guy, have a 1:12 24” Remington 700 and just enjoying the journey. In terms of information YouTube (I like GunBlue490) is great but obviously you need to be discerning. I bought the Hornady Reloading App which is OK but most of the data you can get free from either the powder or bullet companies. Also bought the Hodgdon reloading App which was cheap because you can buy data for your specific calibre - I got 223 and 222 (the latter involves 30 grain bullets which remain in their box…). Have fun, it’s a journey and safe if you’re sensible.
