Ya, I saw it a couple of days ago at MidWay U.S.A. too.
Guess I'll have to spring for one . . .

Give me a place to stand and a long-enough lever, and I will invariably break the lever.

Well, I went ahead an ordered the new Sierra Manual from MidWay USA. It arrived in less than pristine condition due to a very light weight exterior box that was taped closed but way out of square and very little interior packing.
Sierra stayed with the loose-leaf design and that alone has its drawbacks; they claim this as a positive but it has a lot of drawbacks. It’s true it will lay flat but that takes a lot of bench space. The manual has grown to be a very thick book with tons of information. Turning the pages to get to a specific section or page requires a lot of care or the manual is easily damaged. With all the data; Bullet Information, Reloading How-To Section, Ballistic Data, Rifle Load Data and Handgun Load Data it could easily be more than one book.
I like Sierra Bullets and have used many of their manuals over the years so I guess I’ll just have to get along with the loose-Leaf design.
There are some new cartridges in this addition and some of the newer powders are listed so it is nice to have access to the updated data.

Yeah thanks for the comments Larry, though it won't do me much good as Sierra told me they weren't going to produce unleaded bullets. I don't blame them !

My daughter came from Missouri, my son and grand son, my wife and I had a nice dinner of grilled "porter house" pork chops, corn on the cobb, my son, G'son and I share 10/5. G'son is 4 minutes early though @ 10/4.
