It’s time for me to get into the 20th century. All of my reloading manuals are damn near 20 years old. What do you guys like and why?
Should I get one put out by the powder manufacturers, or bullet manufacturers?

Appreciate your thoughts.

I requested one each of the various powder manufacturers' booklets. As JT says, you need to get various CURRENT manuals. Personally I like the Lyman, but it's nice to check it against Hornady and Lee an whatever others are on the shelf. Remember, there's such a thing as editing errors, checking loads against loads from other manuals is a good thing.

the best. They don't make bullets nor do they make powder so they give you data on all bullets including lead bullets. Plus they tell you which is in theory the most accurate load and they give you a factory load duplicate.
