Got my signed copy of the 1st edition Berger reloading manual through the post this morning.
Early impressions are great, could this be the reloading manual that we recommend to those looking for a manual?
Time will tell as we work our way though it, but I know it will have a place on my bench for some time to come,
DM
(I ordered this as soon as it was released state side, had I known Spud was doing a group buy I would have waited but it is nice to get a signed edition).

Re: Berger reloading manual
Does it have data for cast bullets in it?
What is it like on military calibres and old BPCR calibres?

Re: Berger reloading manual
I don't see any cast bullets listed, do Berger sell cast bullets?
There are a lot of calibres and projectile weights covered, to many for me to list. I suspect that if Berger is still making the projectile, then it is listed here.
The information that I appreciate is that they list several different powders for each projectile with starting and max loads.

Re: Berger reloading manual
So it is limited to the bullets Berger make?

Re: Berger reloading manual
DM, does it have load data for the 6.5 Grendel. I've ordered a copy from Brownells but it is still on backorder.

Re: Berger reloading manual
DM, thanks for that mate, I am particularly keen to try out their 130 and 140 Grn bullets for long range. Think it's going to be a wee while though as it is in great demand over here.
