Here's an oldie from 1959, that you will never see repeated:

Speer 1959 Wildcat Rifle Loads Volume 4 - Cornell Publications

Vista Outdoors lawyers would have a cow today if this was proposed!

I've had that book for years. I haven't looked at it in a long time, but I don't think it's much different in the warmth of some loads than those shown in other Speer books from the '60s. While loads are not particularly dangerous, you need to be an experienced handloader to understand and use the data. Not for beginners or the YouTube educated.

Still, best to use current data. Little if any of Speer's old data was pressure tested, but the same goes for many other data sources from years ago.
 
The OP's post reminded me of my Speer Wildcat reloading manual. I wasn't sure what year it was published without getting it out.
It is the 2nd edition from 1956. It appears that it sold for a whopping .25 cents at some point in time.

Of you order anything from those guys, use a disposable credit card.
It's been a couple of years but they have some smart a!!ed kids working for them that will order flowe rs with your card and send them to some other poor shlup declaring your guy's love and herds of Nanny sheep.
 
I believe there are 4 different printings all slightly different. I will try to dig them out tomorrow and confirm.
As already stated, these loads are for folks that understand handloading, know their individual firearm and IMO how to read pressure signs other than primers. Just saying...
