how much data does this book have on 7.62x54r. Does it offer different bullet weights, powders, casings and primers?

They show using Federal 210 large rifle primers, they have the specs for 125 gr Jacketed SPT, 150 gr Jacketed SP, 174 gr Jacketed RN, 180 gr Jacketed SPT, and 200 gr Alloy, they show different powders and starting grains and max grains per type of powder used, also have all the dimensions of the case and OAL of finished round. I found this book to be loaded with information, I highly recommend it. Hope this helps.

Yes, the Handbook is very well laid out, there are several sections in the book that has information of service rifle data for 223 Remington, 5.56 NATO. There is also a section on the 308 Winchester service rifle and just about any information for other service caliber loads and date. I bought the book because my handbook data did not have any information on the S&W; 500 magnum, it only covered up to the 460. I hope I answered your questions.

reloading dies( get carbide) for each caliber you want to reload a reloading manual will also be needed

use the richard lee loader manual, or load info enclsoed with dies etc. Each powder has different cc factor.. there is a chart that gives a multiplier factor applied to load data grains and gives the cc and recommened lee powder scoop for that load.

No. There is a shell holder guide that comes with the Universal set that gives all the info you need by caliber.

The kit comes with a slide scale that converts each dippers respective cc measurement to grains for each type gun powder that you might use. I bought kit just as a way to double check my loads. I think it was worth it, although I've found I only use 2 or 3 of the dippers. This is probably because I only load 2 types of bullets. I guess its nice to have a good selection in case I start loading other types ammo.

It comes with the press, powder measure, one plastic tub that fits on the side for the bullets to fall into. Two primer feed tubes one small, and one large are included also. A small and large cylinder is included for the powder measure one for pistol cases and one for rifle cases. It is mainly just the press and powder measure with the tools to reprime cases. The dies, shell plates, and shell holders for each individual type of bullet are purchased separately. Some types of cases use the same shell holder and shell plate. The 380 auto and 223 REM uses a #16 plate and holder while the 243, 308, 270, and 30-06 use a #1 plate and holder. I wish every thing would come as a kit with maybe five sets of dies for the common calibers, it would make things a lot easier for the reloader. It would cost more, but you would have everything at one time. I am waiting on dies now that were on back order. The press works great though. My Dad and I like how easy and fun it is to use. It is easy to add a bullet, and case feeder onto later if you want one.

The most important item you should have is quality reloading manuals, preferably several. I highly recommend "The ABC's of Reloading" and "Lyman's 49th Edition", as well as various ones from bullet and powder manufacturers. For a wealth of information offered cheerfully by many experienced reloaders, join the FaceBook group "Reloading 101: Learning The Art". "Dumb" questions are welcomed and rudeness is not tolerated by the moderators.

I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW. Respectfully speaking I just use mine for .223 and .243. It will handle 30.06 and .308s but you might want to check with RCBS on that one.

This set covers the most commonly used pistol and rifle cartridges (with the exception of 7.62). For Pistol : http://leeprecision.com/pistol-universal-press-shell-holders.html or for rifle: http://leeprecision.com/rifle-universal-press-shell-holders.html

IMO, for rifles, yes. For pistols? Not as much. Use volume density to set the approximate volume for the powder and grains that you will use. Throw 10 charges into your balance pan and then divide the weight by 10. Adjust the measuring rod on the powder dispenser so that the weight of 10 charges (about 470 grains for a .338) is 10X the charge per cartridge that you want. Test at the beginning of your reload run and then half way through. I found that I could reload about 100 rounds per hour.

I assume you are referring to the 'reload data;' yes it does. There are two pages dedicated to reloading this weapon.

I can't speak to the issue of the RCBS primer, but I resize .223 case and believe it will resize .308's with no problem.

Yes....but please note: This is just my opinion. If you are buying this book solely for it's reloading data, you will find it is limited. They use specific bullets and recommend specific powders. To me, they are biased and recommend certain brands for bullets and powders. I find most of my reloading data online. There are man resources online where you can find suggestions for powder and bullets. IF you are buying this book as a stand by reference and you are new to reloading ammunition, then this book is good for starters. I have a copy, I keep it around, but I find it is only good for reading about the history of rounds. Yes....but please note: This is just my opinion.

yes, it does. it also depends on the age of the rifle as to which data should be used, example trapdoor versus Ruger #1

No, there is no specific listing for the .300 ACC in the Lyman Manual. The most information for that cartridge is available in Hodgdon's Annual Manual, which offers practical loads of 110-135 grain bullets, as well as a dubious sub-sonic load with a 220 grain BTHP.
