Nosler Reloading Guide 9 Hardcover Manual

The Nosler Reloading Guide 9 Hardcover Manual is the authoritative reference for precision handloaders seeking comprehensive load data across modern rifle and handgun cartridges. This 9th edition compiles verified load data for 101 distinct rifle and handgun cartridges, with hundreds of new powder combinations integrated throughout—delivering the most current dataset available for serious reloaders building ammunition to exact performance specifications.

The manual covers every Nosler bullet offering through 2020, spanning 17 caliber through 458 caliber in the rifle section and 9mm through 45 caliber in the handgun section. Nine new cartridges have been added to this edition, including the 20 Nosler, 22 Nosler, 24 Nosler, and 6mm Creedmoor, ensuring reloaders have access to load data for the latest tactical and precision platforms. The hardcover binding (6.25 x 9.25 inches, 1.5 inches thick) provides durability for bench reference and field use, while the 3.2-pound weight makes it practical for transport to the reloading station or range.

This guide serves precision rifle builders, competitive shooters, hunters optimizing ballistic performance, and tactical ammunition developers who require verified charge weights, bullet seating depths, velocity data, and pressure curves. Handloaders working with less common cartridges benefit from the expanded coverage—particularly those developing ammunition for modern precision platforms where factory loads may not meet exact performance requirements or where component selection must be optimized for barrel harmonics and terminal ballistics.

Nosler's reloading manuals have been the standard reference for American reloaders since the company's establishment as a bullet manufacturer. The Reloading Guide 9 represents the current generation of that knowledge base, with load data tested across Nosler's own testing protocols. Handloaders should always cross-reference multiple load sources and follow conservative starting loads—this manual provides one verified dataset but does not replace the fundamental discipline required for safe ammunition development.
