Lyman AR Reloading Handbook

[tcoz]

I recently picked up a copy of this new (Feb 2014) reloading handbook and I'm really impressed with it. It was $12.99 with free shipping on Amazon Prime and well worth it. It's edited by the head of Lyman's ballistics lab and lists a number of loads developed for and tested in all currently available calibers specifically in the AR platform. It also has an informative section that deals with AR cartridges, suppressors and the Federal Definition of an Assault Rifle . Some of the information is readily available in other manuals, but some is also new to me. As an example of the data provided, for 300 BLK, there are 50 loads provided for 11 different bullets using a total of at least 10 different powders.

No load data manual is perfect, but if you load for one or more AR calibers, you might want to check it out.

The 49th edition is the full reloading manual. This is simply called "AR Reloading Handbook"

Yea thanks for the link, that one did not show up on my phone for some reason. Looks like a nice addition to the collection for $12.

I had been wondering about this one. Thanks for the feedback. How many 5.56 pressure loadings does it contain?

11 different projectiles from 40-80gr and two 55gr cast
17 different powders--obviously not all powders have data for all bullets, but it looks like there's data for most every appropriate bullet/powder combination.

223/5.56 data was all tested in 20" Colt AR15, 1-7" twist

I fail to see how you can go wrong with this. I've paid four times as much for manuals with much less data that relates to me, but then again I only load for the AR platform (in addition to pistol).
