I started reading my copy for the third time. Glenn has a unique way with some expressions, but he knows his stuff. He seems to champion Sierra bullets, hardly mentions Bergers.

I am currently reading Top Grade Ammo Glenn’s new book on Handloading. I didn’t think he could come up with anything else interesting after Handloading For Competition. I was wrong. This is a great book full of interesting tips and how to’s. I highly recommend it if you handload or are thinking about starting handloading.

I have this book too. Its a good read. There are a lot of sections that I put big Xs over so I would not waist time reading them a second time going through the book. There are a lot of errors to. The new book that Joe linked to I will have to check out. Even with all the errors in the first one I still recommend it for those that want to take their reloading to the next level.

DUDE NO,

There is an updated book of Glen’s that is coming out shortly. He claims it is what he was trying to achieve with handloading for competition, only easier to understand and step by step. Buy that one! Its called top grade ammo!

I found a lot of good information in the book but think that maybe the author uses 2000 words where 200 would due.

All of Glens books are worth checking into. His new one just came out.

Strongly recommend this book.

It is not for the individual looking for a single step-by-step instruction set for ammo loading. Rather, it has much of what you need to get actual insight into the process. To echo Nate’s excellent points, it reminds me more of Alton Brown’s Good Eats cooking show. Yes, you might get some new technique, but you walk away knowing a lot more about why the whole thing works.

It is very much worth reading, and in my case, re-reading.

the ejector footprint is not from the ejector,it is caused by the case extruding into the ejector hole and then shearing off when the bolt rotates.

It’s beneficial for a new reloader to read, especially before buying any reloading tools.

I concur entirely with this recommendation. Though Glen writes from an admitted point of bias towards conventional rifle sports, I highly recommend this book to anyone starting out at bottleneck reloading, and for those who have been doing so for a long time, I’d wager there is still something to be gained by reading a copy.

This text is not what we think of as a “cookbook” manual…indeed, it contains few recipes at all. Rather, it is a course of instruction on HOW and WHY to handload for accuracy and safety.

Some do not appreciate his humor and/or writing style, and to those people I respond: “Read it anyway for the knowledge contained between the covers.”

Know that if you decide you don’t want to keep it, you won’t lose much on resale value.
