A few years ago I would have said Lyman as well and its still a good one but Nosler manuals have more data with recent released powders along with Hornady. Those are the top three until Sierra catches up with an up to date one.

ABCs of reloading is another to add to the list. Not a manual but good instructions front to back
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

There is so much free data available I'm not sure I'd buy a manual for the data, but the rest of the info in a good manual makes a good resource.

Coax press and Whidden dies, LE wilson case trimmer or Giraud, anything giraud is great, pretty much everything fireman said. The equipment is easy to find, good luck on finding quality powder like H4831, H4350, H1000 just to name a few.

If you don't plan on running your brass in the sand and dirt, you don't need one.

They'll need cleaning for sure. and yes several calibers shooting suppressed.

For dial calipers, Starrett or Browne & Sharpe. For digital, Mitotoya (misspelled, but that is what the majority of folks I worked with in machine shops used).
Lyman and Speer are the manuals I use most. Also have Hornady, an old Lee and a few others that are all good as they have different articles on various loading topics.
