The latest copy of Lee's book was a revision in September 2011. More data, better layout. Ask your dealer to get the "2nd Edition, Revised" It will be worth the wait.~Muir
 
If you are just starting out buy the book read it then again oh and again also any books you can find on reloading read those also.
If you know someone that already reloads ask the to show you, the range I am a member of runs a reloading course every now and
then, if you can find something like this it will be worth going on.
When you start take your time make sure you have no distractions and just follow the logical steps.
CSL did a step by step it's here if you have not had a look yet.

Well I dont know is teh answer as that is the only one I read after hearing it was good.
simple issue I had was it seems more like a Lee advertorial than a reference book. Am sure the load data is fine but I cross reference my load data with the powder manufacturer anyway (am anal like that).

The actual info on the physics of reloading didnt go nearly into enough depth for me.
one question I still have is: "why full length resize"?
short of dealing with once fired cases from another rifle with a larger chamber or cases that have stretched massively, I am still at a loss to work out why it is needed.

fireformed cartridges fit your chamber and by definition must make for more accurate rounds by removing any vagaries of case movement in the detonation stage.

if a reloading book cant tell me why I should be doing it then it is not much use.
The lee book also had a statement, you should always FL resize hunting bullets and then failed to comment on WHY!

would love to read some that are a bit more technical but there are numerous articles online that allow me to read as many sources as possible.
Dont get me wrong I like books....just prefer when they tell me something I havent already read for free!
