Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

Rog, I have a dozen assorted reloading manuals and very rarely use any of them other than for research.
As there is just too much conflict between them, I just access the manufacturers data for the powder I'm using at the time. These days as it's mainly ADI, than that's where I go.
The joys of the modern computer age.

The sheer scale of minuta data that I see everytime I open a book on reloading really gives me the wullys and then I stay well away, lol, like John Cleese as in run a way ....
I will end up reloading for the sake of general shooting but not as a drive for extreme accuracy, its one of those things that just doesn't engage me. I'm always a bit surprised that reloading doesn't come down to half a dozen basic combinations of powder and bullet that every one comes back to constantly.

Its interesting that although I am completely non technical and mechanical I took to reloading and find it a pleasant pass time. On the other hand the complexities of gunsmithing, armoring, bedding, taking the rifle apart, removing screws without mangling them fill me with horror. In any event I have found that old threads on this forum involving Ed Horton and others contain alot of great information on resizing, good bullets and brass to use, etc.

I do think it starts out that way but then they get tweaked to suite each individual rifle.
I have several manuals from different companies from the 80s, 90s on up to the latest. When I need a place to start I almost invariably go to ether Lyman's latest or the latest Hodgdon yearly.
