Reloading Resource

Being new to BPCR, I've yet to find a good 'techncial' source for reload the standard BP cartridges. Have both of Garbe's books, which are good, but have not found a resource that has details on case sizes and drawings, such as the Sierra or Hornady reloading books for the modern cartridges. Is there a reloading book with such technical details for BP? Thanks.

I'd check Venturino's book on BPCR, you really need to own a copy of Cartridges of the world.  And don't forget the Lyman bkackpowder handbook.  I think you can get all 3 at Miwayusa

Have both of Venturino/Garbe's books and also Cartridges of the World 10th & 11th Editions. None of them has the detailed info on case dimensions for BP cartridges. At most, they list the overall length. Sounds like a project. And, I prefer to purchase my BP supplies from folks who support BP shooters, like SPG, Bullfalo Arms, etc. (not that Midway doesn't, but you know what I mean). Thanks.
