Nosler Reloading Guide 6.....?

[redneckmedic]

Anyone got this?
Like it?
Is it worth the $20-$30 price?

If you do have it, does it have any data on the E-Tip yet?

Looking at doing some 90gr varget work in a 1:10.5 .243.

Let me know thanks

There are precious few guides on the market that are not worth the price. There are a couple that I might mention, but the Nosler guide is one which every hand loader should add to his/her library. The information is worth far more than the price of the publication. It does not have information on the E-Tip, as that particular bullet was released after the publication of the guide. However, according to the techs at Nosler, load to the mid-range of the bullet weight for which you are loading, seating the bullet at least 0.050 inch off the lands. I trust this helps.

I have the #6. If I were you and you were not in a bind for a manual I would say to wait for a newer manual with Etip data and hopefully some updated powder options like RL17 etc.

There have been a lot of powder and bullet advances since the #6 manual was released.

And as soon as you buy No. 7, there will be a lot of changes again. Almost every one of the manuals and guides on my shelf are out of date as soon as they are published. Even QuickLoad is dated as soon as the update is released. You just gotta bite the bullet and spend the money. Besides, it stimulates the economy, and what better group to support than the people that supply the shooting sports?

Here and I thought that my Number 4 was up to date. Guess I will have to get on Amazon for some newer ones. Has Ackley got a new update out yet?
