Can anyone recommend a good book for reloading that mainly concentrates on obsolete/vintage calibres? I have many books that cover the more modern stuff.
I have been reloading 'standard' calibres for a few years but the obsolete stuff seem to be a different kettle of fish as there is little if any information available and what is available is often contradictory. Chambers, throats and bores tend to vary from one rifle to the next and off the shelf dies, if available, often need reworking to suit (as I have found out recently with both my Martinis and an 8mm Kropatschek)
Maybe a book that covers die modification specifics would suffice.
Many thanks.

Dromia will be along shortly, once his steam powered PC has enough pressure in the back boiler to switch on

HBSA journals are good

LOTS of older data on specialist US forums too

Look for the Lyman Cast Bullet Manual. Loads of data for long since regarded obsolete calibres.

'The Handloaders Manual of Cartridge Conversions' is an excellent reference for anyone with even a passing interest in obsolete calibres. Contents include how to convert brass and some useful starting loads.

Thanks for the suggestions, having had a scan about on the web I can find all of the titles to buy at the click of a button
