Lyman 49th Ed Reloading Handbook

The Lyman 49th Ed Reloading Handbook provides reloading data and reference information for a wide range of rifle and pistol cartridges. It covers loads for different bullets and powders and also includes cast-bullet information for reloaders working with a variety of components.

Lyman 49th Ed Reloading Handbook Features

The handbook covers both rifle and handgun cartridges. Therefore, it provides a broad reference for reloaders working with different cartridge types.

The 49th Edition includes data for cartridges such as .204 Ruger, 6.8mm Remington SPC, .325 WSM, .338 Federal, .375 Ruger and .405 Winchester. In addition, the handgun section includes cartridges such as 5.7x28mm, .45 GAP and .460 S&W Magnum.

The load tables contain data for bullets from several manufacturers. Furthermore, the handbook includes powder information from brands such as Alliant, Accurate, Hodgdon, Ramshot, Vihtavuori and Winchester.

Lyman also includes cast-bullet data. As a result, the manual provides useful reference material for reloaders using both jacketed and cast bullets.

Beyond the load tables, the handbook contains information about cartridges, components and reloading equipment. Therefore, it can serve as a general reference alongside the specific load data.

The 49th Edition was published in 2008. Consequently, it represents the component information and load data available when that edition was produced.

Product Details

The Lyman 49th Edition Reloading Handbook contains separate rifle and pistol sections. This organisation allows users to find information according to the type of cartridge they are loading.

The rifle section covers cartridges used for hunting, target shooting and other rifle applications. Meanwhile, the handgun section includes common pistol cartridges as well as larger revolver cartridges.

The manual includes data from multiple bullet and powder manufacturers. Therefore, reloaders can consult information for different component combinations where suitable data exists.

The cast-bullet section adds another area of coverage. In addition, the handbook provides general information about reloading equipment and loading practices.

Because this edition dates from 2008, some component information may no longer represent current products. Therefore, reloaders should compare older data with current information from the relevant powder and component manufacturers.

The handbook remains a reference for the information published in its 49th Edition. However, current manufacturer load data should take priority whenever newer information is available.
