Looking for suggestions for a good manual for cast reduced loads

Sharps complete guide to handloading (last published in 1953) has lots of unique data for various cartridges and the old ideal books used to offer unique data for reduced loads as well . Unique is a very good choice for low-mid velocity rifle loads with cast or even jacketed bullets and a little goes a long way .

If you have a pet cartridge and want to run unique in it , pm me as I may have some published data for you from Sharpe's manual, eg 10.0 unique in the 303 british will give you approx 1350 fps with 16,100 cup using a 150 grain flat based cast lead bullet. 13.0 behind a 210 grain gas checked bullet should give 1420 fps @ 28000 cup and is listed as max in this particular book.
