I agree with everything said here. The older cast bullet it manuals are great. If you can find the one published in the early 70's by Lyman (I think) jump on it. I is spiral bound and has in the back, pictures of almost all of the Lyman molds. I addition should you run across a copy of Sharpe's "Complete Guide To Handloading" pick it up also. Much of the information is dated but it has a great deal of insight into all aspects of reloading.
