I tend to favor Lyman's 48th. Edition. Lots of load data and many hints.

Depends on what you are reloading for. Overall, the Lyman manuals are good,but for specific bullets ya cant beat the manufacturers loadings by a whole lot.

LYMAN
Lyman is a favorite and has a lot of good info.Don't limit yourself to just one.They all have different data and information.I have a small library,but you don't have to be that much of a fanatic
 .Having more than one gives more choices to compare. Hornady is another good one that comes to mind.

does the lyman cover lots of different bullets, powders, and calibers?
i have one specifically for the .45 which has a lot of bullet-powder combos. But i would also like something with 'all' calibers (at least .45, .38, 9mm, 7.62x54R -my current guns). as well as data such as appropriate case lengths, etc. |

LYMAN
Lyman has all that and then some.
That's why it's so popular.
