I would get the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook 4th Edition, it's available on Amazon. You also might want to check out this: http://www.lasc.us/Fryxell_Book_Contents.htm
I'll second both recommendations. Very good basis for casting. I've read Fryxell's book several times and the Lyman 4th once with repeats on several articles.
Welcome to the CB.GL forum by the way! Howdy from Kentucky.
Thanks guys! I’ve already been studying Fryxell’s book per the website. I’ll check out the Lyman 4th.
+one on the two already mentioned. If I was you I’d look for the lime in Cast Boolets third edition book also I believe reprints are available from Cornell press. I believe it has a lot more articles related on all things Cast Boolets. Not sure if I spelled Cornell press right I’ll See if i can find A link to it and post it

The cast bullet third is available free here, http://marvinstuart.com/firearm/Manu...-%20Reduce.pdf
It's great for technical stuff but does little to teach a person how to cast. Knowing how to cast and the whys of casting are two different things.

Ok here’s the web address cornellpubs.com They do re-prints of old publications. If you can’t find an original there a good sauce for reprints!
