In this episode of Reloading Radio executive producer Mark Vanderberg gets behind the microphone and records an episode about a book he recently read.

Patrick Sweeney has a new book out called “Reloading for Handgunners” in which he goes a little further then you would get from a basic beginners reloading book. The book is geared towards handgun loads and for most of us that’s where were trying to save money because of the volume that a lot of us shoot from our modern semi automatic handguns.

Mr. Sweeney has some very good information that you could almost consider tips from experienced reloader. Things that are very valuable to someone who is just starting out. There is also a section on each of several very popular handgun cartridges with a little history and load workup about each one. I found the sections my favorite part of the book because I could pick and choose which information I wanted to read depending on the calibers that I load.

You can join us and other listeners to this podcast and talk about reloading at GRRN Discussion Forum & The Reloading Room on Facebook.
