Lyman's 2nd Ed. Black Powder Handbook & Loading Manual

Sam Fadala updated this Lyman classic and from a glance, it's packed with more data than the original. While I have yet to do a side by side comparison between various loads & bullets (to see if they've actually changed anything), the articles are good but rather basic. The meat of the book will be in the data tables and the new material for black powder cartridge guns. Naturally, all the loads are for bullets casted from Lyman moulds. Nonetheless, the black powder enthusiast should find this book a good addition to their library.
