I don't know which Lyman manual you were looking at but my Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook has load data for 2X 175gr lead bullets, a 180gr lead bullet and a 200gr lead bullet. (some lighter ones too) I'm looking at the data right now.
If you're going to load lead bullets, IMO
Lyman's 4th Edition Cast Bullet Handbook is a must. They have a good amount of lead bullet data in the
Lyman Reloading Handbook 49th Edition but the Cast Bullet Handbook has even more and includes data for bullet molds other than Lyman. (for the first time ever)
Lee manuals are only copies of the data from everyone else. Lee probably copied the data from Lyman because they do no testing of their own. The Lee manual would be the last one I would buy. Lyman, Hornady, Sierra and even Speer all publish superior books.
