Lead boolet loading data

[wbrewski]

Are there any manuals with load data for lead boolits. I know you guys come up with some nice loads.[smilie=b:

You can still find the 3rd edition- I would get both.

Also, any of Lyman's Reloading Handbooks, and/or Pistol and Revolver Handbooks have cast loads.

There is lots of material available as suggested. If you get copies of the most modern publications, you might also want to get some of the old material as well. E-Bay has a number of older manuals that you might want to consider bidding on.

The Lee manual has quite a bit of lead load data as well, although the Lyman manual is the best.

I would hope the one you ordered was the 4th Edition. Lyman saw fit to include and test bullets from other vendors in addition to many additional Lyman bullet molds that were not in the 3rd Edition. In addition, there are 3 excellent articles...
This handbook contains everything a bullet caster ever wanted to know about cast lead bullets in one book. This information includes data for all current Lyman molds (edit - almost all) and select RCBS, Redding and Lee molds.

I agree with sqlbullet. Lee has data also but they are nonspecific as to bullet type and Lyman has more data. I use them both but I use Lyman 90% of the time.

I particularly like the LEE 2nd edition with its formulas for making reduced loads and their expected velocity.

I second that!
