Mine happens to be Lyman 45.... and I have them going back to Lyman 43 in think up to date. and every other bullet/powder manufacturers manual as well.
I've gone through 3 Lyman 45's so far in the last 50 years,,, as they fall apart, (the weakness with this book) I have been lucky enough to find a replacement in good shape..
So whats your go-to manual?
Not necessarily "go-to",
but my favorite vintage manual is the "Professional Loading of rifle, pistol, and shotgun cartridges including pressures and velocities and Reloading Data for, Gun and Ammunition Manufacturers, Professional and Amateur target shooters, Game Hunters and Guides" - George Leonard Herter 1970 Revised 4th Ed.

I like Speer #7. No particular reason, it's just the first one I started with.
Not all who wonder or wander are lost.
My most favorite is the load chart sheet wrapped around the powder can from 1899!

Another vote for the Lyman 45th edition...
Lyman #45 and #40
