Refer to my NRA manual copy often. Old cartridges its very useful to compare different manuals. Most times they agree sometimes very different. When powder companies transitioned to on line data we lost a lot. Loads disapear

I used to buy old Ideal loading manuals cheap at local gun shows before they became collectable. Usually $5 or less and lots of old load data for early cartridges. Most powders are still around today, so I refer to them occasionally.
Haven't bought one for many years as suddenly people started charging $30-$40 each, so too expensive.

This is the 8"x11" softbound book published by the N.R.A. It also has extensive articles on bullet casting not found in the modern  watered down versions.

The book is long out of print but you can find copies for sale on Ebay etc.

Is this what you are referring to? I obtained it in 1965. Says third printing but have no idea what year it was printed. Have never seen a date in it or on it. 

Here's the NRA gunsmithing guide.

Old handloading manuals in my library, that include data/techniques for loading fixed ammo for our beloveds, include  Sharpe's "Complete Guide to Handloading", Naramore's "Principles and Practice of Loading Ammunition", Nonte's "The Home Guide to Cartridge Conversions", plus many of the 1960's and older Lyman and Ideal cast bullet manuals and NRA publications already mentioned. One particularly useful NRA publication is/was Col. EH Harrison's "Cast Bullets" copyright 1979, a collection of his and other's articles in the "American Rifleman" going back to the 50's-60's. Long out of print but readily found today.

Lyman's current line of cast bullet handbooks are excellent for applying modern powders/data to our old favorites too.

To paraphrase:
"A shooter, especially a vintage shooter (both personally and equipment-wise), is only as good as his library."
