Berger Reloading Manuals - Differences

[lazyMlazyK]

Just picked up a Berger reloading manual for $30 last night, then when I got home I realized that it's the 1st edition, not 2nd edition. I've done some looking online for other discussion on the topic, but can't dig up much info. What's been added in the 2nd edition?

I appreciate the reply, but that doesn't outline the changes. The main cartridge I was looking for was 6 Dasher, and that'd in the 1st manual already.

I think there is only a 1st edition.

 

[Chaotik]

There's a 2nd Edition???

I only see 1st Edition on Amazon. Interestingly, the highest price there is $43.
Berger's site says the retail price is $29. They don't specifically mention the Edition.

Never seen but one Berger manual.

It's just quickload data computer generated suggestions anyway. So unless you have a tight chamber most of the loads are minimum. No mention of any primer, case, type of action, or anything specific. You're better off looking elsewhere.

Thanks folks. Could have swore there was a 2nd edition I was missing somewhere, but don't see it around. Sheesh, must be losin' my marbles

Yeah, still only the first edition.
And a lot has changed with regards to Bergers own bullet line and all the new powders.

They will give you their load data for the new bullets on the web site or with a phone call to the number shown on the page in the link.

There is only the first edition of the BERGER MANUAL. We will start working on VOL2 when we get caught up with making bullets. In the meantime if you cant find the data you need in the first edition manual or on the BERGER WEBSITE here: https://bergerbullets.com/reloading-data/
Please contact us at Support@capstonepg.com or 660-460-2802 from 8am to 4:30 pm EASTERN TIME MON thru FRI and we can help you with the unpublished data we have for newer bullets , powders and cartridges.

Several years ago called for load data on a 300 norma mag when it was first coming out. They had info but dont know if it was checked on quickloads. Last year contacted for data on 6.5 prc. All numbers given was told straight from quickloads. I was hoping on real world testing numbers, but it gave me a starting point.
