I have been reloading for 7-8 years now. The one thing I have never had is a good book. I have always gone off Hodgdon online data or data from on here. I want to get 3-4 books. A couple updated versions for sure and the other one or two don't really matter. What do yall suggest?

Get several and read them all. Sierra's accuracy loads are usually pretty close for the older cartridges but has no new ones. Speer is very conservative for the cartridges I load. You can never have to many for a reference.
 
Maybe which ever up to date Lyman book is out. They are vast and usually affordable.

But I don't really bother anymore. I've wasted money on Hornady books, since I use a lot of Hornady bullets, and you know, Hornady is pretty conservative in their numbers.

I don't use any other components in the manual except for the bullets and when it's all said and done, I'm no where near where the manual suggest. I just out grow the books way too quickly.

I keep a Lyman around for other things, like random cartridges I don't load as much and so forth.
