one of those manuals is a Lyman then you are good to go for reloading instructions. The steps for reloading have not change.

As for data the Hodgdon’s site is good and will get you up to date data.

The steps haven't changed, but the powders and projectiles are vastly different now than 30+ yrs ago.

Buy the Lee 2nd Edition, 2021 update for about $35. Best book on the market. Buy hardcopy rather than rely on internet.

As for reloading savings, go look at the price of factory hunting rounds right now. If you can even find them, Accubond and Partition Trophy rounds, even in the standards like 243, 308, 30-06, 270, etc are like $3+ per round. It's insane.

300 Mag?? For the really good stuff, You're looking at $120 for a 20 Rd box. . Hope you don't have to zero your rifle with a new scope from scratch... Cause you ain't gonna have enough shells left to even hunt with.

If you already own the equipment and don't count brass, you can still load most standard hunting rounds for $1 or less.

Yes... It's still worth it, especially for high end hunting and match loads.
