The Lee Modern Reloading 2nd Edition Book is a comprehensive reloading manual written by Richard Lee and designed for handloaders of all experience levels—from those loading their first cartridge to seasoned precision shooters chasing tighter groups. Whether you're a rifle hunter, competitive shooter, or cast-bullet enthusiast, this 692-page reference delivers the load data and technical knowledge you'll return to for decades. The Second Edition (reprinted in 2023 with a 12-page final chapter by John Lee) combines practical reloading fundamentals with over 38,000 powder-charge loads across more than 170 different cartridges, all sourced directly from powder manufacturers for accuracy and safety.
What sets this manual apart is its practical depth. Load data is organized by velocity in descending order, making it easy to find starting loads and work up safely. The tabbed cartridge sections speed up reference work at the bench, while large, computer-rendered drawings and dimensional diagrams clarify critical reloading steps. Whether you're developing a new hunting load, reducing cartridge velocities for subsonic shooting, or working with cast bullets, the book's exclusive pressure and velocity calculation factors let you understand the effects of charge adjustments before you pull the trigger.
This is load data sourced from the people who make the powder—not generic tables copied across multiple publishers. Combined with in-depth analysis of how increasing or decreasing charges affects ballistics and pressure, you get the insight needed to reload ammunition more accurate than factory offerings, safely and consistently.
