Modern Handloading

This is a good text on reloading in general and covers most aspects of the topic in greater detail than a loading manual. It was, however, modern in 1972 not really modern for today. It does not contain loading data except for a section on older/obsolete (Black Powder) cartridges. There is a brief section on cartridge interchangeability a subject Nonte covered in much greater detail in his 1961 book, Cartridge Conversions. There are several useful charts in the appendix.

Excellent Information for Would-Be Handloaders

Terrific treatise on commercial manufacture of cases, primers, powders, and bullets. Includes detailed descriptions of various reloading tools and how they are used in reloading handgun, rifle, and shotgun cartridges. However, minor callout errors appear on some illustrations, and the section on handloading mathematics may contain inaccuracies. Otherwise, I highly recommend this book.
