Anyone have one they'd sell a poor old disabled guy cheap? I've looked for hours for a free download, but no dice... You would think there would be considering that it's 34 years old, but nope! :sad:

Thanks.

Considering that they are currently still being marketed for $24-26 I would assume greed is the prime reason you probably won't find a free download. Personally if I had something I would share it with you but unfortunately I do not.

The RCBS manual doesn't have a lot of data, but is sometimes a place I start. If you want cast bullet data, you're much better served with the Lyman one, either current, or if you're like me and still use a lot of old powders, the one from the 70s. It's still my go-to manual. You can download it for free here;

I agree with Rich. I’ve got both manuals and seldom use the RCBS manual. Not a lot of data in it, but plenty in the Lyman version.

Thanks everyone. I have the Lyman Cast Bullet Manual, and Lee's manual, but would like to have the RCBS as well. You can never have too much info/data.

Thanks again.

I googled RCBS Cast Bullet download and found several sites. Did not try them, but they are there.

Yeah, I spent hours searching for a download for it, using Google, Yahoo, and even Bing. Any of them that apparently have it turn out to be false leads when you follow the links. I found it at a used book store for 35 bucks, but just can't afford it any time soon.

The link to the guy giving them away is 7 years old... :-(

I'm disabled and live on 750$ a month. With Christmas and then my 13 year old daughters birthday tomorrow, I'm busted...

Oh well, thanks guys.
