 Reloading for Shotgunners Aug 29, 2009
This book is a fantastic starter or a great review piece as for me. I reloaded all forms of ammunition as a kid with my dad, but felt that after 20 - 30 years I needed a solid review of the process before beginning to reload again. This book will take you completely through the process, as well as offering a wealth of related information. A GREAT BUY!!

 Adaquate - just! Apr 15, 2009
What I find missing from all books on reloading shot shells is the lack of information on the many (Estate, RIO, Winchester and Remington promo shells, etc.) that we find on the shelves of the big box store and gun shops. There are many hulls that we have no clue of who makes them. Books like this one give the same data that all primer, wad, and powder makers give for Remington STS or Winchester AA. Unless we spend $12 a box for the premium shells, we are stuck with a bunch of hulls that has no reloading data. i find this rather superficial, and writer should address this.

 Reloading For Shotgunners misses the mark Mar 28, 2007
Book index of loads is hard to use, lacks color photos of many shells and index does not match chapters or subject matter. Spend your money on something more useable.

What happened to the old standard? Mar 15, 2006
After 4 once-per-decade editions of the Lyman Shotshell Handbook, I was disappointed to see them miss their 2005 deadline to produce another. A lot of changes had happened, the famous Win AA Compression formed hull is gone, lots of other powders and components introduced and obsolete, and no Handbook to guide us through it.
Well, this 5th Edition is now "Reloading for Shotgunners" and it turns out is the heir apparent to the dynasty. After I figured this out, I ordered it quickly, because I had lots of hulls gathered up that the 4th Edition simply was too old to identify.
Big disappointment #1- Where's the hull identification guide? You know, the one with cross-sectional drawings and detailed descriptions of each hull? This book, like every other, constantly warns you NOT to substitute components arbitrarily. Unlike metallic reloading, where a thicker shell case can lower a max load a bit, swapping out different hulls (of the same manufacturer, name and make) can make the difference between a good load and a blooper or a shattered shotgun. So why did they eliminate the single most important chapter in the previous four editions?
Well, so it's not worth the list price, so on to the loads. With 3 years since the demise of the (much belove) Win AA Compression-formed hull, the editors had PLENTY of time to test and roll out lots of good loads with the new 2-piece hull. Oh, no! Hundreds of (obsolete, useless) AA Comp loads, and None, Zero, zip loads for the new hull. A 2-piece Polyformed hull is listed, but this is the old hunting hull, and not compatible. Of course, there is nothing in the way of hull identification in the book to help you figure this out, you just have to "know."
On to a personal favorite, the 16 gauge. Maybe I can find some good hunting loads. Oh, no! More Win Compression hulls, those have been gone for what, 5 years now? And WAA16, ditto, obsolete and no longer available.
Well, there are some loads for W452AA, oops, no longer available, and hey! some Winchester X-Pert Plastic, wait, it gives you no clue, since a couple years before the book went to press, Winchester has been subsituting Italian, French, and Australian hulls for X-Pert, and they all have different capacities and none are compatible with the old X-Pert that the book is probably using.
I'm sure there's some useful loads in here somewhere, the trap shooters using all Remington components are probably well served. But then again, they can get by with the free loads offered by the powder companies. Which leaves me asking the question, why buy this book?

 Very impressive amount of information! Feb 25, 2006
I am new to shotshell reloading and needed a manual to get started. I consider myself lucky to find this newly-updated edition. The title says "Complete", and I agree; the amount of information was at first intimidating. The first chapters were very helpful to a beginner like me, going step-by-step through components and equipment before diving into the recipe tables. It can take a while to get used to the way the tables are arranged, but after a little time and patience you will find the proper loading information. I am very happy to see new components/data listed in the tables (i.e. Alliant's e3 powder, non-toxic shot) - although it means more recipes to test! This book has been an invaluable tool in getting me up to speed in reloading.
