how does this book differ from lymans 49th edition reloading manual?

Some data is the same, but the Cast Bullet Handbook contains far more information on cast bullets in virtually all calibers, including older ones. I find it indispensable if you are loading primarily cast bullets.

This manual is devoted to casting bullets and cast bullet loads. It has load data for a lot of very old (obsolete) cartridges. It has load data for bullets from molds other than Lyman, such as Lee, NEI and Hornady. It contains a lot of metalurgy information that's really above what I do with cast bullets. I just cast bullets from whatever I have and drop them into water. Some work extremely well and some are less stellar. It's now my go to book for casting problems and cast load data.

As the title states, this manual is solely concerned with information regarding the practice of bullet casting and load data for same. It contains no load data for bullets of any other type of construction other than hard cast lead.

It differs in the fact that it deals exclusively with cast bullets. It contains a great deal of info concerning the casting of your own bullets. Alloys, technique, safety, the whole gamut. Finally, lots of loading data. This loading data uses not only their profiles but also some of their competitors'. It is truly a complete source of cast bullet data. Nothing else comes near.

Yes, tho the "manual" is very basic...the CD gives the PDF file for the actual manual which is over a hundred pages long and much more descriptive, especially for detailing the different shooting modes.

You might look in the 3rd edition of Lymans Cast Bullet Handbook to get your loads. I found loads there unavailable in the newer manual.

Yes and no... the Lyman All American press used the old J type shell holder and requires a J to X shell holder adapter to be able to use standard shell holders from Lee, RCBS, Hornady and Lyman, but once you purchase the adapter you can use any standard shell holder.

I recommend the Rcbs rock chucker press, will last your lifetime.Nra certified metallic cartridge reloading instructor.

The publish date on the 49th edition is about the same time the blackout ammo went on sale at all; so no that data is not in the book. It is a 30 cal round with around 1000 fps. I checked other 30 cal rounds for similar ballistics and didn't see anything close enough to publish a start point to experiment with. You might check with your die manufacturer since it is such a new round.

In most cases all dies are interchangeable. I use mostly Lee and Lyman Presses also an old Pacific. I have Lee, Forrester, Hornady, RCBS and other dies. They all interchange.

They show using Federal 210 large rifle primers, they have the specs for 125 gr Jacketed SPT, 150 gr Jacketed SP, 174 gr Jacketed RN, 180 gr Jacketed SPT, and 200 gr Alloy, they show different powders and starting grains and max grains per type of powder used, also have all the dimensions of the case and OAL of finished round. I found this book to be loaded with information, I highly recommend it. Hope this helps.

The loader comes with the Lee instructions which are OK but not really detailed. There's a book right here on Amazon which is a bit better. It's called " The Beginner's Guide to Reloading Ammunition". It has a picture sequence showing the Lee loader. For powders and shot, I use my Lyman and Lee books but an even better source is YouTube. Everyone there has a different opinion but you can find some good suggestions there.

Guessing that is a question and probably something out there it isn't suitable to reload, but I have no idea what that would be. Dillon lists 4 triple column pages of shell plates and they are very accessible at 800 223-4570 for any specific questions. When it gets to the largest round I shoot 300 Win Mag, I hand load them with a single stage, but I don't fire that many and every charge is trickled dead-nuts. The Dillon 550 and 650 are for cranking out large numbers.

A progressive reloaded basically makes one complete round with each stroke of the press handle. It has multiple stages that do the resizing and de-capping, fresh primer seating, powder drop, etc on to a finished bullet. Progressives are generally of a turret design. Check out Dillion if you are interested in a nice progressive press.

It has load data for the 223, which is the same difference. I use it for my 223/5.56 loads. This is one of the most commonly loaded calibers, so any loading manual will have data on it.

That I'm unsure of I have been remodeling my house so I haven't had much time to read about it. I know lyman has a very in depth reloading manual that covers almost everything from bullet weight to vital statistics of each and every powder, bullet, you name it!

Excellent resource for casting info. Do not remember any checklists of equipment, but it touches on all the procedures you will need to understand. I also liked the Lee reloading manual 2nd edition. There is a world of info out there, do your research. I have had good luck with all the Lee dies and presses I use. Be safe and have fun.

No, there is no specific listing for the .300 ACC in the Lyman Manual. The most information for that cartridge is available in Hodgdon's Annual Manual, which offers practical loads of 110-135 grain bullets, as well as a dubious sub-sonic load with a 220 grain BTHP.

I'm sorry I missed the thread your question was following. The brass is once fired brass and it the primers are both small and large pistol primers. Most of the primers will be large pistol primers. Some ammo manufactures use both large and small primers so you will need to spend some time sorting through this shipment. But if reloading is something you already do as a hobby, you won't mind. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I find no reference to the 6.5 Grendel in the 49th Lyman Reloading Guide book. You are probably aware of the 65Grendel.com website, if not, check it out. Charlie
