New loading manual?

[Wiley]

The manuals that I have are several years old and don't include some of the new whiz-bang bullets/loads. I have online resources but like having a manual at my bench to grab and have a quick reference (I could have my laptop at my bench but prefer not to). Of the manuals that I have I like the Speer the best but have an eye on the latest Hornady. My loads pretty much consist of Speer, Hornady and Sierra bullets.

For those of you that have manuals that are less than 2 or 3 years old........ which one do you find to be your go-to book?

I have the latest Lyman. I refer to it often but the one I'm wishing I had is the newest Hornady book. Not sure that it matters, but my Hornady 8th edition doesn't have any of the eld stuff in. Most of the others can be found online.

I use the Sierra free app the most

I print out data and keep it with my manuals. I did buy the most recent hodgdon, it is decent, has ramshot and accurate powders in it as well.

Used to be able to download any of hornady's data online and print it, but since they have the pay app now, don't think it is all available anymore. I was however able to get data from their site for 6 arc, and it is laid out just like their reloading manual. I have, I think, the 9th edition hornady and like it, if I buy another hardcover it will be their most recent.

I have a printer but only need a couple of pages a year printed so I can't justify ink cartridges. I can print at Staples, etc but prefer a manual on hand.

I have all the major loading manuals, but the ones I find myself actually using the most are the Nosler and Hornady manuals.

I have Hodgdon, Hornady, Sierra, Alliant ,and Speer manuals. I find myself cross referencing the Hornady and Hodgdon data most often. Seems like I usually follow the powder manufacturer that I'm using followed by the bullet makers.

Loaddata.com all the manuals at your fingertips with membership. Also has pressure amounts with each load.

I usually just screenshot the page I'm needing and keep it for reference.

I like the nosler and hornady manuals the best. It seems the loads in those match what my real world chrono numbers come out to

Years ago I got a spreadsheet app on my phone. Started finding pdf of various calibers and saved them to the spreadsheet app.
