I recommend getting a manual that describes the cartridge in detail. Not only is it informative, much of it is very interesting.

I totally agree on the need for a manual, or three, or five...
Why so many?... - If you are loading Hornady, Nosler, Sierra, Speer, Remington, etc. bullets, then buy a manual for each brand of bullet you are using.
- Also buy or source a manual for each brand of powder you are loading (Hodgdon, Winchester, Vihtavuori-online, etc. if available hard-copy or online)
- The Lee Modern Reloading Manual is a good starting point, however, be aware that the manual is information gleaned from a number of different sources and is often not as accurate as going to a specific OEM manual. And always be aware of the test barrel length of the loading information.
Good luck! And happy reloading...
