I’m looking for some 32 H&R magnum load data using 100 grain cast bullets. Since the cartridge is not in wide use, I thought that an older version of the Lyman manual (49th?) might have a larger variety of load data for it. I can still find used copies of older Lyman manuals for sale on internet sites.
Any suggestions?

Don't buy a Lyman manual that's too old if you're looking for 32 H&R load data Zendude. The 32 H&R wasn't introduced until the mid '80s, and my old 46th Edition Lyman Manual (printed in 1982) doesn't even list it.
Like Englishmn said though, the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook 4th Edition has 32 H&R load data - including data for 100gr cast bullets. I myself use that 100gr data for the 95gr cast bullets I use in my own 32 H&R.:)
 
Lyman cast bullet handbook 4th edition has load data for 100 gr saeco #326 cast bullet.
Lyman 49th has NO 100 gr cast data.
Neither does Lyman 50th Edition Manual. I agree the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook 4th Edition is your best bet. It's a necessary tool for anyone who loads cast bullets IMO. It's not just a reprint of the full manual, it supplies much more data for cast bullets.
