I got it for the load tables.
I was working from the 42nd edition, as well as tables from the internet for years. The 42nd has been around since I was a kid (1960 print date, I think)...dad picked it up at a garage sale years ago. The binding is broke, the spine is held together with duct tape, and it's missing pages. It's been well used and worn over the years. Judging from what I saw in the 49th edition, I won't have to use the internet and various printed pages that were collected over the years.
I'm picking up the remainder of the reloading casts, dies, and other supplies next week from the farm. The shop is almost done, and we'll be setting up a bench dedicated to reloading in what is currently my work shop. I'm getting excited about this turn in life.
