Hi,

I have tried to contact him through both a PM and an email and have not had any response.

I'm trying to get a copy of the 1966 Alcan loading manual referenced on Castpics.

A buddy just came up with a sealed 3 lb. can of Alcan 5, and I've got a can of both 7 and 8.

I found some shotgun loads in my Lyman #2 Shotgun manual.

Just looking for some more options and it looks like Wiljen hasn't been on here in a while.

Anybody have any contact?

Thanks,

do you have the Lyman CB Handbook #3
Lots of pistol data in it.

15meter, I have a copy of the 66 Alcan manual. I may have scanned mine or it is Wiljen's copy. It is 20.5 Mb so PM me your email address and I'll get it to you.

Not sure if I have that manual, my collection stretches about 4 feet, I'll have to dig into it to see if I have one (or 2). I came across some duplicates this afternoon when I was looking for something else.

Thanks for the point in the right direction.

Yes ... Lyman Cast #3 and also Speer #9 and Speer #10 .
There are also Alcan loads in Speer Manual #8 if you have this one . I'm still reloading 38 Special w / Alcan #5 with Speer Data ... these old manuals can usually be found on Amazon for reasonable prices.
They also have handgun data for Alcan #7 and #8 .

Don't forget to be very cautious about loads from the Speer #8. I have a copy of it but only use it as a historical item. Got some really warmish loads in it!
