Looking for some suggestions on buying another reloading manual. Looking for one that has a lot of data for use with titegroup. Rather than randomly buying something I figured I would check with you all first.

Hodgdon manuals would be my first bet, then Lyman, then a tie between the bullet manufacturers.

I haven't bought a manual in years. Just so much good, up to date, data from powder manufactures and bullet manufactures available online. Hodgdon's online database is my favorite and where I turn first.
Bullet manufacturers concentrate on data for their products, powder manufacturers concentrate on products that they produce.
So, Hodgdon would probably have the most information on Titegroup. The others would be hit or miss.
Lyman's regular manual and cast bullet manuals are good as Lyman does not make jacketed bullets and if I rmember correct, the cast bullet book includes moulds for some data on bullets from other companies other than Lyman's moulds.. But I'm not sure how much Titegroup data is included in them.
I'm not a fan of Titegroup so I skip over most references to it in the manuals.
Besides online sources of data, I like having manuals from several sources. The different sources have slightly different data and some different bullets. Generally, the information given for each cartridge is interesting reading and most of the manuals have some instructional sections that are good for learning new techniques and better reloading operations.

You want a manual with lots of info on Titegroup?
Go to the powder mfgr manual online for all approved loads. I don't like using the i'net, I prefer a book too, but you have limited your field of search to a very narrow list. Look up each mfgr usage for Titegroup and print it for your manual.
Manuals of necessity, have info on a wide range of bullet, powder, case info, that's why it is a "manual".

Hodgdon’s Annual Manual is a great reference for all Hodgdon powders, and pretty inexpensive, if you prefer a reference that is not online.

I load for four different calibers using titegroup. Everything I load pretty much dialed in so far. I ordered some 124gr fmj 9mm bullets from RMR. I admit I use the hodgdon website quite a bit but they don't have a fmj titegroup load that I've found using the website.
