Not a big speer fan.

Only having #11, I find the listed loads well over most other manuals for the same bullet wt. The layout & info etc I have no problem with. I wouldn't advise starting with anyone's max load, especially speer. IMO it pays to look at a few (minimum) sources before deciding on a starting point, then work up with accuracy over velocity being the primary goal. If you REALLY NEED the velocity, then sacrifice "some" accuracy for speed.
 
Manuals

Good advice so far. Both Lyman's, (cast & jacketed), Ken Waters pet loads vol 1&2, individual manuals for each mfg of bullets you plan on using. Finding a test rifle the same as the one you are reloading for (& same barrel length) is a great find. Enjoy. :)
