I couldn't find a place for this link. I guess Reloading manuals are reloading tools. I found a link that has quite a few older reloading manuals that are available for free viewing.

Hey Ohio Rusty that link has more than a little of reloading data, development and implementation items. Plus if you check it also has links to general shooting, firearm and related matters at the root of the download.

Thanks for the link and I am sure glad you posted.

I bought a new reprinted Lyman Cast Handbook, #3, 1973 on flea bay. It is worth every penny if you like to browse printed material of lots of cast loadings, much more than the current Lyman Cast Handbook. Of course the must recent new cartridges are not in there. I would rather look at a book in my easy chair than scroll a screen. The company that prints it has lots of older out of date info available, but still very informative. Just me.

For the beginning reloader, Lee's Manual should be a Must Read ... http://marvinstuart.com/firearm/Manuals/Reloading/Reloading%20Manuals/Modern%20Reloading%202nd%20Edition%20by%20Richard% 20Lee%20-%20ocr.pdf

Especially when you find several cans of Alcan #5 , stashed way in the back on the top shelf of your closet ... No new manuals contain any data for the Alcan powders now days ... but if you have some old manuals then they do contain data and you can put that powder to good use .
I'm a big believer in keeping and buying old manuals ... paid off for me !

Same here gw. The oldest I have is a re-print of Phil Sharpe's 1937 book. Have several from the 50's & 60's I've found over the years.
