My uncle dropped off some books that belonged to my Grandfather and Great uncle.
These are all in great condition. Lyman 44th edition that's dated 1967. A Speer Manual dated 1961.
A first edition of Jack O'Conner's " The Rifle Book" from 1949 and the best one is a Third Edition from 1949
sent to my grandfather's brother from grandpa's former Border Patrol partner George Parker also dater 1949,
"Complete Guide to Handloading" by Phillip B. Sharpe.

I picked up a like new copy of the Sharpe book several years ago. It is a fantastic reference even today. Just the pictures of the various tools are worth having the book.
What a great gift. Love reading the "real" books from my youth. Does the Lyman have pics of all their molds in it?
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!

It does. Still has the post card requesting a new catalog!
What I love is how things have changed. In between the loads for .222 Rem and the .222 Remington Magnum is a brief
listing for the .223/ 5.56 Remington. " Inasmuch as bolt action, target are not available for this cartridge, test accuracy was somewhat limited". All testing was done with an AR-15 rifle.
Lots of stuff like that. Way Cool!!
