Good prices on reloading manuals???

I am looking for a Sierra reloading manual (new or at least 5th addition).  Any ideas where is a good place to go?  So far the best price I have seen is d&r sports and $24.00.

longwinters,
I bought my Lymans and a few others (used) from e-bay.com.  My Speers came with the RCBS Kit.

Longwinters, If you want a Sierra Manual, you should try the computer software version. It works slick and besides pistol and rifle load data, it will display and print ballistic charts. It comes on a CD and allows you to install it on your hard drive or work off the CD in case you don't have enough hard drive space.  See: http://www.sierrabullets.com

I have it and use it often. Like Speer and Hornady, the Sierra manual only lists loads for their own Sierra bullets.

If you have access to a fax many of us could fax you that page from the Sierra manual - But I'll bet if you call Serria and explain they will mail you that page just to guarantee your business.  The company has been like that for years.  After all, if you get that page, you will want more, no?  If you e-mail their answer line they will even help you find the accurate load for your rifle.  I've seldom met people more heplful.

Ah, what the hell, may as well buy it, you will eventually.
