Ponder this when it comes to selecting a reloading manual.

1. One put out by a powder manufacturer is only going to address loads that use their powder.

2. One put out by bullet makers is only going to reflect loads that use their bullets.

I would look for a manual not tied to a powder company or a bullet company and there are some out there. You can also find a host of data available online if you have the patience to do the searching. One word of caution, be suspect of loading data if you don't have complete faith in the source. Reliable sources not tied to the above are more likely to give you a well rounded number of choices.
