    Manual recommendation

    I’ll be grabbing a new manual today and I’m looking for recommendations. I have two Speer right now. I’m leaning towards the Barnes as it seems like the hardest info to find online. I shoot a lot of Hornady and Speer bullets but most of their info can be found pretty easy. Is one better than the other.

    Personally I'd get a Lyman. It doesn't matter who makes the bullet. What matters is the weight of the bullet.

    I’ve never even looked through a Lyman. Do they list specific manufacturers or just weight and style?

    They list by weight and style. They also ID the manufacture of each bullet tested on the first page for the caliber.
    Lyman is a must have IMHO.

    My first new manual was a Lyman, and I consider it a solid one to keep on the shelf. I just bought the 50th, and I recommend it highly as one of the good ones.
