I'm trying to collate official powder/bullet manufacturer load data for low(er) velocity lead bullets.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, either published manuals, manufacturer load sheets etc. This is a follow-up from the indoor shooting question the other day, call it supportive evidence sign92
Should've mentioned I've got the Lee manual which has a few already.
Rifle - lead bullet load data < 1400 fps or < 2100 fps

All four Lyman Cast Bullet editions are the best source for "official" data if by that you mean pressure tested. The Lee loads aren't tested at all they are jut pinched from other sources with original mistakes and some of their own, I don't trust the Lee load data even if is all minimum loads, too sloppy an approach for me to have confidence in it.
The NRA Cast Bullet book is good as is the RCBS Cast Bullet book, both out of print but still available second hand.
Phil Sharpe's Complete Guide to Handloading has good cast boolit information, again long out of print but still available second hand
Ed Harris's seminal work on Cast Bullets in Military Rifles based on Mattern's original classifications in The Book of the Springfield is your best starting point, a copy of which is lodged in the Library. Ed was a technician with the NRA and was involved with Col EH Harrison's work on the NRA book data. Fryxel's work is also very good but doesn't have load data.
What exactly are you looking for and for what purpose?
