Hi,
I am thinking of getting the new Lyman Cast Bullet Reloading Manual if it has the information I need.
Does anyone know if it has data for:
335 gr. boolits in 38-55
535 gr. boolits in 45-70
and witch edition is it?
Thanks,
John

I have the Lyman "Cast Bullet Handbook" Third Edition, is this the manual you are talking about? If so I located the following info for you.....
.38/55 Winchester:
The only load data it shows for this caliber is a 249 grain bullet and a 269 grain bullet.
.45/70 Government:
It shows load data for several bullet weights for various brand rifles but no 535 grain bullet. The heaviest bullet is 464 grain bullet for Ruger #1 and #3 rifles.
If there is any other information that I can look up for you in this manual feel free to ask.
Sorry!
Jody

I believe that is the latest edition, but since I am looking for info on some really heavy boolits I guess I won't have to spend my money.
Thanks for getting back to me.

Lyman is working on a new cast bullet manual now scheduled to appear about January 2010. It will have more data like you're after and it will also have data for RCBS, Redding/SAECO, and Lee bullet designs. Perhaps not all of them but for some at least.
MLV
Lyman 49th Edition Reloading Handbook has info on the 335 gr. bullet
TGM
Lee's manual has a small amount of data for a 530gr 45-70

Lyman's 48th Edition Reloading Handbook:
Pg 270
Lyman 378674 - nominal 335gr
5 smokeless loading data
Pg 296 - (Springfield only)
Layman 457132 - nominal 535gr
7 smokeless loading data
Pg 301 - (Ruger #1 and 3 Only)
9 smokeless loading data
Their 49th Edition also has loading data for both bullet weights
If your interested in original gunpowder:
Lyman 378674 - 40 or 42gr FFg
Lyman 457132 - 68 or 70gr FFg
So, recommend you buy the Casting and Reloading books for good references on both subjects
