| Good book | 9/15/2026 | |
| For anyone who reloads shotgun, this book is a must. We know its hard to find load data for shotguns anywhere. This book is one of the few sources with a great variety of loads, and it is very current on powder and other components for 2026 - highly important! No matter what other shotgun guides you purchase, I would urge getting this to complete any library of reloading data. Its one of the best sources of shotgun loads I have found anywhere. If you own nothing else on the subject yet, this is the best place to start. It is the overall biggest source of load data I have found, and convers everything: bird, steel, hevi, buck, and slugs of multiple types. | ||

| Feels outdated | 9/1/2025 | |
| This manual, though “new” feels quite outdated. There is so much of this manual dedicated to powders that have been discontinued. Conversely, it seems like the newer available shotgun powders have very limited data available. Maybe I just had my hopes up to high for this latest edition but I’m honestly disappointed. | ||

| Disappointed | 6/3/2025 | |
| Thought Lyman would list some newer data with more available powders however not the case..Printing data is easy finding components for their recipes on the other hand is a futile endeavor these days. Dont see any change coming in the near future | ||

| It takes quite a bit of time to conduct the data research and print books. Meanwhile, the whimsies of the market can change quickly. They can also change back. Nobody knows what it will do. | ||
