    Are Grendel reloading books beneficial for me?

    I see those 2 books for $50 or so.

    I currently have kindle 10th edition of Hornady Manual, which does cover Grendel bullets.

    So I am wondering will I benefit from those additional Grendel reload books? Like...will I find more loads, ? does it list many bullet manufacturers and larger selection of powders or what?

    yes.
    yes.
    and, yes.

    It will be the best reloading $$ you spend.
    And they contain a bunch more than just reloading data.
    I've got Hornady, Nosler, Hodgdon and Sierra data... and barnes... and lehigh... and Western...and speer. But I still find myself going back to those 2 books.
    You can't go wrong with more reload data than less.

        I only bought book two and read it cover to cover. It was worth more than the few dollars spent. Loads can be found in several places but it is nice to just go to the back of the book when I want to peek at a new load.

          From reading your other posts I think they will inform you and help a lot.

              You want to know more about the history of the cartridge, the development of the cartridge, the capabilities of the cartridge and reloading data, get the books.

                  If you are new to Grendel reloading I'd suggest a manual for each type bullet, most can be had on their net site, which saves a lot of money yet you get a ton of info.

                    R2:

                    Depends on how serious you are about your loading and shooting. If you hunt or are competing with the Grendel, I think they are well worth the money because they have the most extensive listing of load data on the Grendel a guy can find in one package. If you want to stick with Hornady bullets and have no desire to do anything more than go to a range and blast once in a while, then probably not. I recommend them to anyone who handloads.
