In response to the fastest growing shooting sport in the country, with Precision Rifle Series (PRS) and Extended Long Range matches reaching new participation levels, and industry leaders producing numerous rifles, scopes, bipods and other accessories for this exciting sport, Lyman has filled the one obvious void: reliable reloading data.

This new handbook is truly a necessary tool for anyone seriously interested in handloading ammunition specific to the long range sport or those looking for that edge in PRS competitions.”

“Long range precision rifle shooting is one of the fastest growing areas of the shooting sports. All one has to do is to take a look at all of the new precision rifles and optics that are being introduced every year,” Tom Griffin, Technical Manager and Lyman Handbook Editor added. “We felt, however, that there was a lack of reliable reloading data for many of the popular calibers used in PRS shooting. This is where our new Long Range Precision Rifle Reloading Handbook comes in. It fills the need for reliable data as well as other information that long range shooters need. This handbook is filled with data designed to provide the top level accuracy these shooters demand.”
