Lyman
The Lyman Black Powder Handbook & Loading Manual, 2nd Edition is the go-to reference for anyone serious about muzzleloading and black powder cartridge work. Developed over three years with input from legendary muzzleloader expert Sam Fadala, this comprehensive reloading guide combines practical field knowledge with thousands of pressure-tested loads—everything you need to handload safe, accurate ammunition across a wide range of black powder firearms.
Whether you're working up loads for a traditional flintlock or percussion rifle, loading black powder cartridges for Cowboy Action Shooting, or handloading shotshells, you'll find detailed data here. The manual covers pressure-tested loads using Goex and Elephant black powders, Pyrodex RS Select, Pyrodex P, and Pyrodex Pellets, along with an extensive selection of projectiles—round balls, conicals, and sabots. Each load includes down-range velocity and energy figures, so you can predict real-world performance before you step to the line.
Beyond load data, Fadala walks through the fundamentals every black powder shooter needs: choosing the right muzzleloader for your hunt or match, building consistent loads, understanding ignition systems, and proper firearm maintenance. The cartridge section, developed with respected black powder cartridge authority Mike Venturino, covers historic and modern calibers—45-90, 45-100, 45-110, 45-120, plus Cowboy Action staples like 44-40, 45 Colt, and 44 Special. Shotgun loads for 10, 12, and 20 gauge round out the offering.
