The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook: 4th Edition is the first comprehensive cast bullet reloading manual from Lyman in over three decades, making it an essential resource for handloaders who cast their own projectiles. Whether you're a seasoned reloader optimizing your cast bullet loads or new to the practice, this handbook delivers the load data and expert guidance you need to reload cast bullets safely and effectively across rifle and pistol cartridges.
This edition covers Lyman's complete lineup of rifle and pistol bullet moulds, plus select moulds from other manufacturers, giving you broad compatibility whether you're working with Lyman equipment or piecing together a custom setup. The manual includes load data for modern calibers—including Ruger Compact Magnums and 327 Federal—alongside black powder loads for classic cartridges, so whether you're loading for a modern hunting rifle or a vintage revolver, you'll find the data you're looking for.
Mike Venturino, a respected Guns Magazine writer and devoted cast bullet enthusiast, contributes his hard-earned knowledge throughout the handbook, offering practical insight into cast bullet reloading that you won't find in generic reloading guides. His perspective bridges the gap between technical data and real-world application, helping you understand not just *what* to load, but *why* it works.
If you cast bullets at home or are considering the practice, this manual answers the questions that generic reloading references skip over. It's the reference every cast bullet reloader should keep on the bench.
