Manuals..how old is out of date?
I was fortunate enough to get some hand-me downs from my uncle that consists of Hornady, Winchester and Alliant. Some date back to 2003. Have the changes over the past few years made these manuals obsolete?

No. But you may not find some of the newest powders and bullets listed for loads. I keep and refer to manuals that are over 20 years old but let the newer manuals trump their info if it differs. There have been some changes over the last 20 years in reloading but the old standby powders, for instances, are still used today. Some of those powder standbys are a century old! LDBennett |

Re: Manuals..how old is out of date?
LD, thanks I appreciate your input. I've been doing alot of reading on here and your responses to others starting out seem to hold great knowledge, experience and always reflect the safety aspect. I mentioned the manuals to my Uncle and he pretty much reiterated everything you said "READ ALL OF THESE BEFORE YOU BUY OR RELOAD ANYTHING"

Re: Manuals..how old is out of date?
Welcome Trek Jeff.
Can't disagree w/ LD. He'll just prove I'm wrong.  Of course he has been around as long as some of those powders..... I'm a Michigander relocated. Still have family in Michigan. Where bout you at, Jeff? You might also check used book stores for other info on guns & reloading.
