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. :)
 
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.
