Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook 4Th Edition, Multiple, Model:9817004

If you want to get into the sport of shooting cast bullets you want to learn from the people that have been doing it. This book really is packed with great information and lots of tips and tricks as well as common mistakes.

Has a ton of info for a reloader. Very good if you are looking for reduced load info.

Lyman has once again come up with the needed information. If you Cast your own bullets this manual is most valuables. I cast and load for both rifle and pistol. Th loading data I need is here even for Lee and Saco molds. A good Value.

Very detailed information about this hobby. I recommend this book!

The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook 4th Edition is an excellent reference for the "caster" and a great addition to any "reloaders" library. Mike Venturino is always a "good read" and he knows more about bullet casting than any two "experts" of the last two generation. He will not only tell you what will work, he is generous and humble enough to share mistakes he has made along the way in order to expedite your loading education. One might describe him as a "stand up guy" whose honesty and integrity shows in his writings (no, I'm not kin and have never had the pleasure of meeting him). The only fault I noticed was the "parroting" of an old "loading factoid" prefaced in a few of the "tables" that are identical to the same comments in their "oldest" Lyman books. An example of this is the "old saw" that "Microgroove barrels will not deliver accuracy if loaded above 1600fps" (those on the Marlin forum has proven this to be untrue through testing). Matter of fact, just the opposite is true if the bullet is sufficiently hard to drive at maximum velocity with a bullet that is at least .002 over normal size (a "poster" named Ranch Dog distributes molds based on this finding). I can't cite multiple editing mistakes, or where Lyman has used old data for new discoveries, so this one indiscretion (at least for me) can be easily overlooked for the massive amount of information it puts at the "finger tips" of the "common layman interested in obtaining safe, accurate loads. I have always appreciated Lyman's effort to provide loading data that includes pressure data, and the "theoretically" best powder/accuracy load (Many of their "accuracy loads" are "spot on", even in guns with different barrels and actions). I own several of Lyman's loading books to include one of the first they published and feel that no "shooter" or reloader's library is anywhere near completion without at least one of their excellent reference books. Thank you for your contribution, Lyman! Sincerely, Ken J.

The book contains everything about the process and reloading data for the different Lyman bullets. Even though I cave mostly Lee equipment, this book is still the best resource.Thanks Lyman!

All the info in one place,

Just what I needed

Muy buen libro, creo que le faltan cubrir más moldes de Lee pero trae lo esencial para empezar a recargar

Excellent book. Lots of very useful information.I have been casting bullets for 15 years and I learned a lot from this book. I like the fact that there is load data for Lee, Saeco,Rcbs and Lyman moulds. Very recommended. Mike Venturino is one of my favourite authors and he has done very well in the way he presents the information.

If you use handload and use cast bullets then you should have a copy of this manual. Even if you have been reloading for years it still has a place on your bookshelf.

This is the handloader’s Holy Bible. I found this out for myself after finally getting off my ass and buying it. I’ve already had a lot of questions answered and have used the alloy recipe for Lyman #2 and now cast some fine bullets which work.Great book.
