Lyman has teamed up with "Mr. Muzzleloader", Sam Fadala to produce the most comprehensive black powder manual available. This manual is entirely new, from the ground up, and includes thousands of pressure tested loads using Goex and Elephant black powders, Pyrodex RS, Select and P, and Pyrodex Pellets, along with a large assortment of round balls, conicals and sabots.
Over three years went into the development of this data. Down range velocities and energies are also given for each load. Sam Fadala brings his well known expertise to this work, covering such topics as choosing your muzzleloader, building the best loads, propellants, ignition, maintenance and much more. In addition, black powder cartridges are well covered with the help of Mike Venturino. There are also hundreds of pressure tested black powder cartridge loads for such calibers as the 45-90, 45-100, 45-110 and 45-120. Cowboy action calibers such as 44-40, 45 Colt and 44 Special are also covered, as well as 10, 12 and 20 gauge shotshells.

Must have for black powder fans
Lyman is my favorite loaders manual. Even before I ever loaded a single round on my own I would still read through the handbook. Round dimensions, velocities, impact force, drop at range. These all fascinated me. Once I started loading here and there I got distracted and just wanted to try as many loads as possible. One of my favorite things to reload were black powder cartridges. This book was a big help in teaching me about loading black powder and all it's factors. For instance a .44-40 is a .44 cal bullet with 40 grains of fffg black powder. I got about 23 grains in before the case was full, and I mean couldn't seat the bullet without bulging the case. Lyman had the solution for me. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in working with black powder.
