Hope someone can help me. I inherited and unopened 4lb. jug of 4759 and have and old Lyman cast bullet manual with a few loads but not everything I am looking for.
I need start and max loads and velocities for 293 grain, 405, and 500 grain lead bullets in .45/70 caliber. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for Looking,
TF
I prefer the Lyman 1st edition cast bullet handbook, but this newer one you can download here for starts.

I've ordered a couple reprints of manuals from these folks and while not perfect, they are very useable. Just enter what you're looking for in their little search box (Lyman, cast bullet, etc)Quote:

What you shootin
You have to jump hoops some but Lymans Handbook #38 & #44 is available through Wayback Machine. Just scroll down to the desired cartridge and find your load. It may take a while to download so don't be too much of a hurry for either https://web.archive.org/web/20160512...Handbook38.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20130729...OM/Lyman44.pdf
I have a Lyman from 1958. it lists 2 loads for 4759, with the 405 grain bullet. 23 and 24 grains. says 2 inch group with the 23 grain load

For me the link opens that pdf, and that allows me to save it.
Does anybody still need this data ? The OP tacofrank, last posted in this thread ~2 years ago.
I know for a fact that the older Speer manuals have plenty of SR4759 loading data; if this is still needed by anybody I could take a closer look ?
