Lyman BP Handbook.

Would like to get my hands on a Lyman BP Handbook as
recommended, where can I find one?

With my new BP Rifle will be needing the basic supplies,
where is a good place to put my cash down on the barrel head? or online.

Midsouth sells it for $11.43:

Here's an even better book for the beginner, in my opinion (by the same author). It explains everything you need to know to shoot every type of muzzleloader, as well as stuff you'll need to go with it, history, hunting, and other cool stuff:

Hey thanks squirrely, that looks like the exact book
I need. ::

I agree with S.R.

The first book is good as a reference, but it's not like reloading for a cartridge rifle where there are hundreds of possible combinations of powders, bullets and primers for any cartridge. In black powder it's a prescribed amount of FFg (or an equivalent of the sissy stuff), a lead ball and a choice of two primers or a flint. After that, reading load tables is pretty dry. The above book goes into more useable information.

Buy both. What one doesn't have the other does. Lyman book is good for performance expectations from different loads. Fadala book is just plain good instruction. Heck, if you're a reader you'll end up getting both anyway.
