I still have the very first manual that I started with in 1978 , its a Lyman 45th printed in 1970 , and its still on my bench , I keep it for data on Obsolite and semi-obsolite rounds that are listed in the very back , one never knows when a .351 Win. Self-Loading or a 32 Rem. is going to fall into your lap  ;) .

Another reason I keep them is for all the notes that I have jotted down in them over the years , better than trying to remember all that stuff .  ;D :o

I have a very large collection of them.  I just (this weekend) bought Lyman 37 to 39, 41, 44 and 45.  Seirra 1 and 2.  Speer 3 and a few others I can't remember.

If you have some you want to go to a good collection of them.  Let me know.  I read, use and archive them.

I have a collection of the speer and Hornady manuals. I've sold the others , not enough space for it all.

I have the Lyman manuels #32 up to #48. The #32 was written in 1936 the year I was born. there is some good reading in them. Carl L.
