Get the Nosler reloader manual. Its the size of a bible. Its everything you need to know to start reloading.

Wow. I will be in Hamilton this next week! Until Thursday. Have to check it out.
Make sure to hit Frontier Guns. It's North of Hamilton just past the Woodside Cutoff light. Hodgdon powders seem to be around, Alliant stuff not so much. The Trading Post and Bob Wards are both worth a look. Things do go fast however. mtmuley

I don't have the Nosler or Barnes manuals, but I do have the Hornady, Speer and Lyman's 47th edition (as well as the latest Cast Bullet edition).
The Speer sucks. In this day and age, there is no reason why a manual has to be black and white. I mean really... The Hornady is awesome. Great color pictures and great explanation of what's going on through the reloading process as well as what's going on during the ignition/firing process so you can better understand everything. The Lyman's is great because it has a variety of loads from different manufacturers.

If you really want to drive yourself nuts get into wildcats and old cartridges.
Spent the day at the range today shooting polenta to fire form loads. I nearly kept a straight face when telling my range neighbor that I was experimenting with non lethal non-toxic hunting loads.

Those things you've asked about are powder designations or names. For the calibers your looking to load and the interest you're showing, I recommend that you find a friend that is reloading and watch over thier shoulder for a while. Talk to them and pick thier brain.
