I'm looking for a reloading manual that might specialize in the ARC and Creedmoor Family. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Are you looking for 22 caliber info or 6mm?

This is copied from another shooting site:
Hornady 11th edition cartridge reloading has exactly what you need. 6 mm ARC has different load data for gas gun and bolt action. Definitely pay heed to the gas gun data and do not exceed the recommended loads for gas guns, 58 gr through 110 Atip. Page 239 through to page 251...all the data you need.

Skipper, I sure do appreciate your help, but the Hornady 11th Edition let me down. I assumed it would have more on the 22 ARC, but no Beuno.skipper wrote: ↑Wed Mar 26, 2025 4:47 am This is copied from another shooting site:

I did ask if you were wanting 22 or 6mm but I didn't understand your reply. Try this link:

Yes, I printed that and have it in my new unused Hornady 11th Edition. Let's see if I can explain what I'm looking for better. I'm looking for a book, manual or something I can refer to instead of having to get on the computer. I want something that strictly focuses on both the Creedmoor family and ARC family. With the history and load data. I seriously appreciate all the help you're doing though sir!skipper wrote: ↑Wed Mar 26, 2025 10:33 am I did ask if you were wanting 22 or 6mm but I didn't understand your reply. Try this link:

I understand now, I think. If you have printed it out, just add it to your existing manual as an attachment. Perhaps you need a computer at your reloading bench? You could also save electronic versions of your reloading data on it for quick reference. I have used my cell phone before to look up things while I'm out reloading. I also have an electronic shooting gallery that I thoroughly enjoy for popping ducks while dodging family members. I have a drawer in my desk where I keep my printed out materials. Comes in handy whenever duck season starts and I'm changing my presses out for my shot presses. Computers are hard to dodge these days. Why not embrace them??

That's exactly what I've done for a number of years.
I keep a three-ring binder in my gun room for each rifle I load for. All data such as the round count, work-up loads, and final pet loads are all listed for reference. By listing my COAL to touch the lands after shooting many rounds on my rat shoots, I can keep track of throat erosion and seat bullets accordingly.
When I come across new data or stuff not seen before related to the caliber in question, I stick it in the binder to build up the reference library.

I think more shooters would benefit from a computer in their reloading room, with a screen directly in front of them just above eye-level.

Agree. I keep my laptop in my gun room for referencing and current load data. You've seen my gun room....no room at eye level for anything now.

I hear ya'. Since my reloading room also doubles as a woodshop, I use sheet plastic to partition off my reloading bench area. I also use pillow cases to keep the dust off all 6 of my presses and powder dispenser.
