That was 90% data tables and 10% instructions. This book fills in all the missing gaps of what's needed to reload. Use this book for the instructions and the data tables from the reloading handbook.I'd debated between Kindle & paperback and finally decided on paperbook. I was a little surprised that all pictures are black & white not color. I'm still somewhat glad I ordered the paperback version as its useful to be able to look at the diagrams while reading the descriptive text, something that would difficult on a small screen Kindle.Others have complained about the old hand drawings but while I admit a photograph would be nice in some instances I frequently prefered the simple hand drawings as they included only the details needed rather than an overly detailed photograph where I wouldn't be sure what to look at.The paper is very cheap, like a cross between regular paper and newsprint, but it is also very large and easy to see the details of the illustrations. I guess that helps keep the costs down. The book is also large enough to lay down and have it stay open so I can reference the book while working with my hands. I think they made a smart decision to go with the cheap and large format.I liked that its not manufacturer specific like the handbook that came with my reloading press so it doesn't try to sell you a prticular brand of equipment but it occasionally calls out specific manufacturers of products while I like so I can actually find the stuff. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Intro - Not a reloading manual *by M***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 15, 2012* I rarely give a book 5 stars but this James' guide to reloading was just what I needed. It is not a reloading manual with complete sets of bullet weights and powder charges - it describes how the reloading process works, what kind of things you need to think about, the dangers (big and small) and what kind of tooling is used. The book gives just enough detail without being overwhelming. With this book, a reloading manual and the right equipment you can start reloading. Most of the gun books I have bought would have been no bargain at half the price, this one is worth every penny.The author covers rifle, shotshell and pistol reloading each in about equal detail. There is a step by step guide with photos on each of these processes as well as discussion of the different issues that arise for each kind of round. In addition the book has a chapter on bullet casting, one on ballistics and chapters with other useful looking information that I haven't read yet :).The basic ideas of reloading are quite simple - Shape the case, insert the primer, add powder, seat and crimp the bullet but the details are critical and utterly overwhelming to a novice. I am learning to shoot handguns and the only way I can afford serious practice is by reloading my own ammo. This book showed me the path through the forest and I am now ready to buy the kit I need and get started.If you decide to go with a progessive press, I highly recommend you go to Brian Enos' site. He sells Dillon and is very helpful. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for the beginner and a good reference *by L***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 16, 2013* The ABCs of Reloading was my first introduction to books about reloading. A few years back, when I again started shoot regularly and needed to reload to save money I ordered the kindle version. The first kindle version was not the greatest but the new update fixes those issues.Main critic of this book is that it is geared to the beginner, slightly dated and does not contain load data. I got several reloading books now that focus specific bullet manufacturers and specific areas such as handguns but this is a great reference. On dated, the basics of reloading does not change. Powders will change slightly over time so I prefer getting load data from the powder manufacturer. An example is that I looked up load data for 10mm Auto for 180 GR jacketed bullets in two bullet manufacturer reloading manual as well as the load data from the manufacturer of the powder I was going to use. All three had different Starting and Max loads and this books gives the great advice that powder formulas can change over time. Checking with the powder manufacturer for the latest loading data makes sense to me especially with calibers such as 357 Sig, 10mm auto and 45 GAP.I have loaded thousands rounds of accurate pistol and rifle ammo without damage to myself or my weapons which I credit at least partially to the advice in this book. My conclusion is that this is a great book to learn the basics of safe reloading. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/3423634-the-abcs-of-reloading-the-definitive-guide-for-novice-to](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/3423634-the-abcs-of-reloading-the-definitive-guide-for-novice-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
