I've only used online data, Lyman's book, and the Lee book. The online stuff gets contradictory between sources, and the Lee book has what seems to be fifty times the number of recipes as the Lyman book.

I've got several, but the Lee book seems to have more loads. Nothing beats a starting load and a chrono.

Sometimes I wonder how Lee gets away with it. I'd bet money that most of the load data in their very, very complete manual comes from other sources than Lee. That said - IMO the Lee is the most complete manual available.

If you know for sure you will be reloading you can get the lee book free with their starter kits. It is a good idea to use other sources to cross reference but simple is the best way to start, get more intricate later and develop your own loads in time. And remember each one uses different methods to collect velocity and pressure data.
