$19.58
The Lyman 9827115 Shotshell Handbook 6th Edition is the go-to reference for anyone loading shotgun ammunition at home. Whether you're a veteran reloader fine-tuning loads for competition or a newcomer setting up your first bench, this handbook delivers the data and guidance you need to load safely and consistently. It's packed with load recipes for popular hulls, powders, wads, and shot types—all organized in an easy-to-navigate format that beats flipping through scattered notes or outdated charts.
What sets this edition apart is its coverage breadth. You'll find load data for hulls from Cheddite, Federal, Fiocchi, Remington, and Winchester, paired with primers from the same manufacturers. The powder section covers the brands reloaders actually use: Accurate, Alliant, Hodgdon, IMR, Ramshot, VihtaVuori, and Winchester. A dedicated non-toxic section walks you through bismuth, steel, and Hevi-Shot loads with full instructions, so you're ready whether your club requires lead-free or you're hunting in restricted areas. The wad coverage now includes Claybuster and Downrange options alongside established names like Ballistic Products and Precision Reloading.
The 6th Edition introduces full-color printing and color-coded data sections by shot type, making it faster to locate what you need on the bench. Real-size, full-color case cross-sections help you identify hulls before loading, eliminating the guesswork. This is a working reference, not a shelf ornament—bring it to the loading bench and rely on it.
