I have an early copy of the Lee 2nd edition reloading manual.
The later copies of the 2nd edition have been "revised " a bit.
When searching for a load with a cartridge, bullet, and powder the Lee Manual is my first point of research.
Over the years I have collected manuals from all of the bullet companies and powder companies. Most of the information is redundant
I do use an online resource (Gordon's Reloading tool - freeware or subscription if you choose) as a reference and confirmation of loads from the manuals.
I shoot 9.3x57 and there is limited data for modern powders in this caliber, especially with 200 grain cast bullets.
One of my goals is to revise a Lee Loader for 8x57 to 9.3x57.
I do miss being able to buy a Classic Lee loader for calibers rarely used like the 222 Remington or the 8x57.
For what it is worth, and there is a learning curve - Gordon's Reloading Tool

Re: Manuals and on line resources
Just an errant thought but would neck sizing with a 9.3x62 die work?

You can get them through [https://www.ch4d.com/products/dies/cali ... ter=9.3x57]CH4D[/url]. I have ordered dies from them on a number of occasions. They are the dies I'm using with my M94 chambered in 35-30.orerancher wrote:9.3x57?? I have been Searchin in Vain for Months, for a Set of Dies!!

Gordon of Gordon Reloading Tool just passed surprisingly a few weeks ago.
The software is great, but it's unsure how the project will continue, if at all.

Re: Manuals and on line resources
So I did some research and a 9.3x62 sizing die can be cut down to 9.3x57 on a lathe. Just a thought.
