I am sort if a reloading manual whore, I get them all and the older ones too.
If you don't want them all I suggest the Lyman manual first. Like said above, it has a lot if very useful information other than data but the data is also very good. Then I would buy the manual for the bullets you will use most. I bought the Hornady and Nosler manuals because I shoot a lot of their bullets. I like owning the older Speer manuals too. I cross reference the book data with the data from the powder company's load data sites. Hodgdon covers all Hodgdon /Winchester /IMR powders, Alliant has data and Western Powders supplies data for the Accurate and Ramshot powders. VV and Norma data is also available.
I hope this helps and if I left anything to question be sure to ask.
