Best shotgun reloading manual?

[Armored Metal]

Hey guys. Found this Versamec for 20.00$ on Kijiji. It's in very good shape.

I've reloaded thousands of pistol and rifle rounds since I started reloading 6 years ago but know next to nothing about shotshell reloading. So time to read up.

What are the best manuals out there?

Same press that I've had since the late '70's.

I use the Lyman manual.

A Lyman manual and a good scale are a must.

Just go online to Hodgdons, and get data at no charge.

And set it up in an old bathtub...shot spillage is inevitable and it will go everywhere

The Lyman handbook is the best I have seen by a wide margin.

I did. I also read about shotshell reloading in the ABC's of reloading and watched a bunch of youtube videos.

What I need is a manual with load data and to understand a bit more about which wads to use with what hulls.

I have #6 and #9 lead shot. I have 2 bags of WAA12F114 wads and a big bin full of hulls (Win AA, Win superX, other Win, Remington, Cheddite, Challenger and others).

I also have a few powders to chose from. 700x, W540, and Titegroup. Got some Cheddite primers.

I'm just looking to make some range loads to shoot plates and pepper poppers at my club with my Rem 870.

The Lyman manual sounds good
