The Ideal and Lyman were making casting and loading equipment when Mr. Lee was just a gleam in his dad's eye!

Get either the Lyman Cast Bullet hand book 3rd or 4th edition OR the Lyman Loading Manual 46 edition is about 1980 and has most of the Cast Handbook info in it! I have #48 & #49, newer powders & cartridges, less real info!

Since you now have the means, learn to cast, then learn about sizing and Lubing. Then worry about loading data, you'll have to go with whatever powder is available anyway!
