Not a technical "How To" book...

I am just getting into reloading and was expecting some helpful information for reloading from this book. It is not a "how to" book in any way. After being disappointed in the bulk of the book, where I thought there would be reloading procedures and guidance, I thought there would at least be a redeeming portion in the back in the section showing loads. But the "loads" are not really loads at all! It just shows different lengths of barrels and what specific weight and types of bullets the author got to shoot accurately from that barrel. But it doesn't tell you what kind of powders he used or what amount. Not at all what I was looking for in a reloading book. **What this book does, is talk about the authors years of reloading experience. both failures and successes, and it also gives a lot of history regarding reloading, and different cartridges.
