Description: This is a beautiful second printing copy of the 1979 Speer Reloading Manual for Rifle and Pistol - a beyond detailed instructional manual all about reloading ammunition. Written by Speer, a trusted brand in the industry, this hardcover book provides thoroughly detailed instructions and illustrations for reloading rifle and pistol ammunition. The manual covers various gun models and types, including handguns and rifles, and was published in 1979 by Speer Publications. The manual is perfect for beginners who want to learn how to reload ammunition and improve their shooting skills or experienced reloaders who want to track down some vintage knowledge to add to their technique. It includes information on the reloading process, such as how to prepare the ammunition, load it into the gun, and adjust the firing rate. This copy is in great condition - the cover has seen very little fading so the image is still very cool to look at and would make a great coffee table display book when you're not reading it. On the inner cover is a sticker with the previous owners Reloading Data and there are several tabs throughout the book that marked their most frequently referenced pages. Several excerpts from the book are below to give an idea of it's scope: From the Introduction:"An introduction to the sport and hobby of reloading usually places heavy emphasis on economy. However, the true purpose for reloading is not so simply defined. For example, no matter how thoughtfully a shooter spends his money, he should realize that when he arrives at that pinnacle of interest which inspires him to begin reloading, he is not basically economy oriented. True, the fact that a good saving can be realized must not be overlooked. But let's think of saving money as a superficial justification, not necessarily a motivating factor. Indeed, reloading needs no such excuse, for even if the cost of the custom cartridge were as great or greater than that of the commercially manufactured cartridge, the discriminating shooter would continue to load his own. Topping the long list of benefits associated with reloading is the fact that ammunition can be 'tuned' to the individual's gun and to the purpose for which each box of cartridges will be used. The business of tuning loads is made easier because of the availability of practically limitless combinations of powder, primer and bullet weights and types." Dedication:"1978 saw the passing of two notables of the shooting world. [Vernon Speer 1901 - 1978 and Jack O'Connor 1902 - 1978] These two, whose lives encompassed very nearly the same span of years, were long time friends and sometimes hunting companions. They shared a foremost common interest - guns, shooting and hunting. This book is dedicated to their memory."
