The One Load books are a good source for specific cartridges. A little dated, but usually can find something that makes it down range in a safe manner.
Just received the Hornady 10 that I asked for as a present. Now that I am loading for a 223 and using Hornady bullets I find information for them not found in on-line manuals. As a matter of fact the 62 gr. Hornady bullet I am using is not listed in the new manual.

I also have a Lyman Pistol and Revolver Handbook, Speer #10 and Handloading for Handgunners. Have also downloaded and printed the Western Powders manual.
Yea I have used my Brothers Manuals as well as the Info on the Powder Makers sites. Also some Bullet Makers have their own info with Oal Specs. And of course the Sages on this site That I am truly Thankfull for their help.I was thinking paper books.
As mentioned, Hodgdon's on line is great. I also get their annual publication since it is cheap.
I have Quick Loads as well.
There is a lot going on with that program.
I have found the benefit of using it to compare to all of the manuals data.
This has helped me see where things "should" end up when adjusting the charge etc (within suggested ranges).
There is a lot of good info around.
So much so, you can go into information overload.
This Forum can help with that if you have questions.
The more data and specific the question, the better the answers get.
There are some really sharp cookies here!!!!

That's not necessarily true. The reason I said I think my Hodgdon manuals (including my collection of Hodgdon "Annual Manuals") are my best "all-around" manuals is because they list different loads using different brands of powder and different brands of bullets. Of course they list more loads using Hodgdon powders, but just take the 7mm-08 loads listed in the Hodgdon manual sitting in front of me as an example - it lists 7mm-08 loads using Alliant, IMR and Winchester powders as well as Hodgdon powders.Manuals published by the powder companies use a range of bullets from different companies but have data only for their powders.

Let’s see what the internet says about 9mm 124gn +p ....I don’t use manuals.
I use recipes posted on Internet forums, like THR.
The more info you have, the better. Loading manuals can vary quite a bit.
