Just one
If I had to pick just one it would be the Lyman 49th because of the wide variety of bullets and powders that are covered.
Most companies just test their bullet brand and show that data in thier manual. The powder companies are on the internet but many times just with limited bullet data.
Sometimes the internet data is the only way to go. I recently bought some of the new Speer Deep Curl Boron coated .243 bullets (part no. 1212). Inside the box a card warns the user to use only the Speer data from their website, or to call Speer as the load data is different than their usual 80 grain (part no 1211) offering in the latest Speer #14 manual.
That said, I enjoy picking up old manuals at gun shows, garage sales, and Amazon or ebay. I ran across the Sierra 3 ring binder 1995 2 book set for rifle and pistol in very good condition just last month. It still has a lot of good relevant data, and since I am in the midwest Sierra is very popular here.
