I must disagree. While I agree that Sierra's 2 volume set is
*excellent*, I think it is more oriented to experienced reloaders.

Hornady's 2 volume set and Lyman's single volume are both more
oriented to new reloaders. I'd put the Hornady set first because it has
better color illustrations, but both of them have extensive sections on
the details of setting up and doing the reloading. For a new reloader
I consider this much more important than having more more realistic loads.
