Lee Modern Reloading 2nd Edition

Lee Modern Reloading, 2nd Edition is one of the most comprehensive and enduring reloading manuals ever published, written by Richard Lee and refined through decades of hands-on experience.
This definitive reference goes far beyond basic instructions, offering deep technical insight that benefits both beginner and highly experienced reloaders.

With over 38,000 loads covering 178 cartridges, the manual presents data in a larger, easy-to-read format, complete with tabbed cartridge sections for fast reference.
Importantly, the load data is supplied directly by powder manufacturers, including starting load velocities—making it some of the most reliable data available.

A standout feature of this edition is its exclusive pressure and velocity factor analysis, allowing reloaders to accurately calculate reduced loads. This makes it an essential resource for cast bullet shooters and anyone working outside maximum pressure limits.
Detailed, never-before-published analysis explains how changing charge weights affects pressure and velocity, giving readers a deeper understanding of internal ballistics rather than just raw numbers.

Reprinted and revised in 2019, this 692-page reference also includes a 12-page final chapter by John Lee, ensuring the book remains relevant for modern reloaders.
It’s a manual designed not just to be used—but to be kept, referenced and passed down.
