The ABC's of Reloading by Bill Chevalier (2008, Paperback)

This publication lists itself as a definitive guide for novice to expert. It is exactly that. The book covers enough basics to be very helpful for the beginner, while containing enough advanced and new technology topics to make it interesting for those that have been reloading for years and to continue to educate the beginner as they become familiar reloading.

The book is written for those with a high school reading level and contains a great deal of information without being dry or boring.

While the book does not include actual reloading guides, it contains a great deal of information dealing with safe and effective methods of reloading. There is also a great deal of interesting reloading history.

I am a total beginner at reloading and this book has already given me a much greater knowledge of what the reloading process entails and clear discriptions of all the technical terms and why each step is important. Great clear pictures of how to identify shells unsuitable for reloading and quite a bit of history on reloading and ammunition in general. I would recommend this book to beginners and advanced reloaders alike!

My interest lies in shotgun shell reloading. The information on this subject in the book while accurate is somewhat general in nature. For example it gives very little information on the construction of the Shotgun Shell, which is one of the most important considerations when deciding what shell you should use when reloading. Most of the really technical and in depth information in this manual is for the brass shell casing reloader. I find Lyman's 5th edition, Shotshell Reloading Handbook to be far superior on the subject of shotgun shell reloading.

The book was recommended to me by the users at ar15.com as a great guide to learn the basics of reloading. This book is a must for every reloader!!!

I just finished reading this book and I really enjoyed it, even though I have not gotten into reloading yet. I am trying to read a lot of information before I get into it, so that I will know more about what I am doing. This book serves that purpose, covers everything about the different kinds of reloading and then gets into the actual hands on type information that I will need once I start reloading. Would recommend to all those new to relaoding because it explains many details of reloading that you need to understand before hand.

This book covers all the issues about reloading. It covers it good detail. It gives all the information you need to start reloading

This is a fantastic book for the novice or the venteran reloader. Not only do you get the information you new to properly reload but you get history of modern cartridges.

This is a great guide for those just starting out or experienced handloaders alike. Clear instructions with great pictures make every step of reloading safe and most effective. Bill Chevalier has many years of top notch knowledge under his belt and we are lucky that he has taken the time to record and instruct us again in the updated 2008 edition.

This book is simply one of the must own items for every reloaders reference section.
