I am currently in the process of tearing apart the house to sell off a lot of accumulated trash and treasure as it looks like my mother may need to go to a nursing home soon, and at that point the house will be sold.

I know somewhere in this pile of stuff I have a "Herter's" reloading guide from the 60's and am wondering if it would be worth the effort to put it on Ebay (Assuming I can find it.)?

I've found old reloading guides to be treasurehouses of information. Older cartridges or loadings are inexplicably edited out. Sometimes mention will be made of cartridge/ firearm specific difficulties. Try handloading a 200 gr .38 S&W for a Enfield revolver sometimes.

Chris:

Unless (Yeah, I know I'm being optimistic.) my mind has become a "little?" befuddled, one of the great things about the 60's era of that reloading book is the cartridge "wildcatting" that was going on at that time. Handloading was a very hot hobby and not just for the high volume shooters. In those days you didn't have to worry about some lawyer trying to sue you for an information manual that warned you, unlike today.
