    Cast bullet book

    Anyone know where I can get a copy of Col. E. H. Harrison book on cast bullets????
    Out of print from NRA. Can't seem to find it anywhere for a reasonable price.

    Thanks for the offer

    Thanks for the offer Rangerone. I may take you up on it. Trying to find one here on this rock.
    I wish the NRA would come out with reprints of all the old books they had.

    Got one

    I couldn't find one on this rock so I bit the boolet and put a bid for one on ebay. I won it. Paid $40.00 for it, but Amazon had three with the cheapest at $44.00, so I saved $4.00.
    I would be just my luck if NRA comes out with a reprint tomorrow for $10.00.

    Months ago I sent the NRA a letter to ask permission to reprint their book. Never got an answer.

    Question.....Are all the books signed and numbered? I found a cased copy in an antique store in Gallatin, Tn. last March. The price was $30.00, which I thought was a bit much at the time, but bought it anyway. Sounds like maybe I did a good thing??!! My book is signed by E. H. Harrison and numbered. Emery

    Smile Why price so high???

    I was thinking I paid to much for the book. But looking at what they are going for, I got a good deal. I just hope it's worth it.
    Anyone know when NRA ran out of them?????

    Amazing! I got mine several years ago along with the supplement and the 3 annuals from Handloader, from Bill Ferguson. He had them at the time. Don't remember what I paid, but it was less than $40 for the whole lot. Sometimes I do get lucky.

    Lots of good info in it. A little dated, but seems to still be true today. Anyone know of any other books on cast bullet shooting that would be good to get?????

    I believe this book and the 3 annuals are only available on DVD now. I'm going to buy it to save wear and tear on my printed copies.

    RCBS' "Cast Bullet Manual, No. 1" (1986) is worth reading and can be had for very little $$. Its loading data is much more limited than Lyman's "Cast Bullet Handbook, 3rd Ed.," but the chapter on heat-treatment of CB's by Dennis Marshall is excellent. The already mentioned Lyman [hand]book is dated, but quite thorough as well.

    Lyman "Cast Bullet Handbook"

    I just picked up a copy of Lyman's "Cast Bullet Handbook" 3rd edition, from Boise's new Cabela's store yesterday. Paid $12.49 + tax. It seems to have a lot of info in it - is there anything that I should be aware of, using it?

    Thanks,

    Don
