Re: Recommended Reloading Manual
The Lyman, their latest 50th edition is recently out.
The Lee is not a good data source, they do not test loads they just copy other peoples data including their typos and then throw in a few of their own. The data is conservative to accommodate their own peculiarities like volume rather than weight data and their singular cast bullet approach. A rather cursory approach aimed at selling their products.

Re: Recommended Reloading Manual
Most of the reloading manuals have a large section at the front on the process and procedures for reloading and there's not too much variation between them
As far as data goes the internet is probably the best source for the most current data
Recommend that you stick with the powder manufacturers for best options

Re: Recommended Reloading Manual
I have always used Sierra - lately the Sierra Suite CD-ROM which contains a very useful external ballistics calculator.

Re: Recommended Reloading Manual
I got the impression that the OP was directed at books on how to reload and best practices rather that reloading data

Techniques will vary depending on what you are loading and what for, but most manufacturers publish data online that stays in date.
