Thanks much. I have his classic work on rifles, but not the handloading one. Nice to know about the difference in editions, too.


Phil Sharpe's Complete Guide to Handloading is his magnum opus, far better writing & subject matter than "The Rifle in America" which has a lot of cut & paste from catalogs of the day.  The 1941 edition is pretty rare.  I have only seen one and I grabbed it.  But there is plenty in the 1937 edition to interest anyone curious about Depression-era handloading. 

You could use the bearing from a Model A Ford generator to resize your .45 ACP brass.  Drive the cases through with a 3/8" bolt and your hammer.  Decap with a nail & your hammer.  Re-prime with a wood dowel and your shop vise.

IIRC, almost 2 pages of handloads for the Krag.

The regular bound editions are very well made and not that hard to find.  But the book is in the public domain and is on the web as a free download.  All you have to do is search.
