Since this is turning into a recommendation of antique reloading manuals, of which I already have a copy of Naramore and Sharp and Mattern, what other ones are good? Thanks for posting a PDF source for the Naramore reloading manual.

Naramore wrote another, larger book in 1954 called Principles and Practice of Loading Ammunition. In many ways, it goes more deeply into the subject than even Sharpe’s book did. It has sections on developing loads with unknown powders, repairing bullet moulds and other exotic subjects.

The above post just jogged my memory. This is the book I have and described in the earlier post instead of the book mentioned in the OP. I guess I should look over the books I have more often.

Inter and intra library loan is a great program. It varies between library consortia. Most libraries share with other libraries in a state. Not all do participate though.
I work at a university research library so I may have access to a bit more than others. One or a pair of of books I requested was "Wildcat Cartridges" by Ken Waters. I couldn't have afforded to read it otherwise.
Another feature to check out is Google Scholar. Ask if your library participates. Google scanned and is scanning all the books available. Different levels of libraries offer various levels of access. Essentially all the old books are or will be available electronically.

Another that I now have that I didn't before. Good find and thanks for sharing.
