The cover is long gone, but here is Page 1:
330853

I can sharpie the ID onto its spine if I can find out ? :-)

Thank you,

It’s the First Edition. Should have a lot of blue-highlighted woodcut illustrations of the boolits in the loading sections.

Thanks, but hmm not sure ...

30-06, Pg.85:
330869

Fold-out pages:
330870

Actually, is about ~half jacketed data, so I was a little off re "CB manual". :-/

Edit: not "half-jacket", but the reloading data is about ~half for cast, ~half for jacketed.

my first edition page 1 along with statement on page 9 by Charles E Lyman 3rd explaining how this first edition was planned + who contributed to it - it does not have any half jacket loads listed in it -

That's Lyman #41 , the 1959 loading manual. It has always been one of my favorites along with #45 , the 1970 manual.
