What's your "Go To" source for load data?

When researching a load, what manual or website do you check first? I'm starting with handgun rounds, if that makes a difference.

Re: What's your "Go To" source for load data?

I have reloaded for about 45 yrs. My go to would be the Sierra manual first, then the manual for the specfic bullet maker I am using. I shoot mainly for accuracy,and have found the Sierra loads to be very close to perfect.. When testing, I will load a load slightly lower, and a couple higher than reccommended, and it seem that their load will be spot on....If I want to use a different powder...I take the velocity of the specified load, and start around that velocity with the other powder...It sure saves allot of testing.. D-451

Go ahead and get a good reloading manual and read it cover to cover...

I like the Lyman the best

but have the Lee and Hornady as well...I use the internet quite a bit but I ALWAYS do a sanity check by reviewing several manuals before I work up a load

I use the Speer and Lyman manuals, as well as the powder manufacturers' websites, but lately I've been pulling a lot of info off of http://www.loaddata.com because they have not only smokeless loads, but black powder as well. I like having the ability to search by bullet weight and specific powder.
