Ww.. I just gotta share this for the folks that dont know about it already. There is a ton of cast info and loads for cast.... Back in the 50's and 60's, almost everybody cast... The old lyman manual from 1967 even had many cast bullet loads for my 22 jet... Very cool stuff. Here is the link

http://www.castpics.net/LoadData/OM/default.html just in case the link dont work.

Word of caution though powder has changed much in 50 years.... Pay attention.... That said, i download the manuals and put them in Ibooks in my ipad. Great way to save the data and pull it up for reference.

Have fun,

AlaskanGuy

Castpics is one of the most valuable shooting related sites on the net, Wiljen has done a masterful job with it.

Great links. I started reloading in 67 and casting shortly after so the 67 lyman manual brings back some old memories.

Can anyone re-share these out from like a dropbox account or something?

Still works for me this AM. Have you tried just typing it in the address bar? Don't know about dropbox.

The link posted works. None of the manuals on that page load. Others on the CastPic site do work so it seems to be just that page.

Ditto what dragon posted above.

I don't have the Alcan manual but I have the others and a bunch more. Never get rid of your old manuals keep them until you die.

I emailed the webmaster... The old manuals link works, but you cant view the actual manuals....

Castpics was our rendevous site if we went down on the shooters board in the late 90's. IIRC, Felix's son set it up and developed it. Wiljen took it over a decade back and there is a link to it at the bottom of every page on here. most of the articles were written by members here. It is a resource all should use often.
