If you are into reloading this is a must have item.  By putting every round through the gauge you know the round will feed and fit your gun.  It will also identify a round that might cause an issue.  In my case, this gauge saved me when a 380 round was mixed into a 9mm reloading session.  The attached photos shows how the 380 round fell below the gauge area of the Lyman cartridge unit.

A reloader's must have tool!

I have been reloading for over 40 years and my most recent manual was a 4th edition Hornady that I got in 1992.  Of course there is a lot of good information on the internet now from powder manufactures and others and in most cases I've been using the same loads for years.  There is a good variety of loads in this manual, pretty good coverage of powders.  It is very conservative on the loads that I have looked at.  I use mostly IMR and Hodgdon powders for rifles and the maximum loads in this manual are well below the online information on the IMR/Hodgon website.  I do like the fact that instead of giving only starting and maximum loads they give loads across a range of muzzle velocities (example loads for 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900 fps).  The do not give chamber pressure for their loads and I do like to see chamber pressures.  There is a good description and history of the cartridge, what game is appropriate game for a load and they cover a great range of different cartridges.  The book seems to have a good section on the actual reloading process.  I have not looked over that part and hopefully I will read through that.  It's easy at this point for me to think I don't need to read any of this cause I know it all anyway.  I don't.  I debated a 4 or 5 rating for the manual but obviously I settled on a 5

This is the best reloading handbook, especially for those who use cast bullets. I have two older versions but needed an update.

This book is absolutely pro-Lyman all the way.  It only lists a few powders and brands of bullets for everything.  It is in no way a comprehensive guide for reloading except for a very few loads.  I may return it  and buy a less prejudice book.

exactly as advertised.  arrived in perfect shape!  I needed a guide to help me with the vast number and type of ammo available and this was the perfect reference.

GREAT!  If you have reloaded for a long time, you come to realize that the simplest tools are the best.  Use these, find a load that is around the starting load in your manual, and you never need to worry about a scale getting out of balance.  You need good manuals also, get the Lee second edition, Lyman 49th, and the latest Speer.  Get all 3, each is useful and they all complement each other.  The Lee for many different powder combinations, the Lyman for cast bullets, and the Speer for the ballistics tables in the reference section.

The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook 4th Edition is an excellent reference for the "caster" and a great addition to any "reloaders" library.  Mike Venturino is always a "good read" and he knows more about bullet casting than any two "experts" of the last two generation.  He will not only tell you what will work, he is generous and humble enough to share mistakes he has made along the way in order to expedite your loading education.  One might describe him as a "stand up guy" whose honesty and integrity shows in his writings  (no, I'm not kin and have never had the pleasure of meeting him).

  The only fault I noticed was the "parroting" of an old "loading factoid" prefaced in a few of the "tables" that are identical to the same comments in their "oldest" Lyman books. An example of this is the "old saw" that "Microgroove barrels will not deliver accuracy if loaded above 1600fps" (those on the Marlin forum has proven this to be untrue through testing).  Matter of fact, just the opposite is true if the bullet is sufficiently hard to drive at maximum velocity with a bullet that is at least .002 over normal size (a "poster" named Ranch Dog distributes molds based on this finding).  I can't cite multiple editing mistakes, or where Lyman has used old data for new discoveries, so this one indiscretion (at least for me) can be easily overlooked for the massive amount of information it puts at the "finger tips" of the "common layman interested in obtaining safe, accurate loads.

  I have always appreciated Lyman's effort to provide loading data that includes pressure data, and the "theoretically" best powder/accuracy load  (Many of their "accuracy loads" are "spot on", even in guns with different barrels and actions).  I own several of Lyman's loading books to include one of the first they published and feel that no "shooter" or reloader's library is anywhere near completion without at least one of their excellent reference books. Thank you for your contribution, Lyman!  Sincerely, Ken J.
