Read them all. Status of steel is good and another one ill have to check later. No such thing as too much knowledge.

I know but I don't want to read one that is just confusing or false.

I have Status of Steel and I question much of what is written there. However, there is also much to be learned there. It would be my last choice if I was purchasing books/manuals for steel reloading.

I highly recommend the VIII Edition of RSI's Steel Reloading Handbook:

http://www.reloadingspecialtiesinc.com/Reloading_Specialties_Inc/Reloading_Specialties.html

I also highly recommend Lightning Steel 2nd Edition. It is available from Precision Reloading:

Also, here is a very good tutorial on the basics of steel reloading:

Reloading for shotgunners. RSI, Status of Steel, Lyman's.

I learned 90% of what I know on Internet forums, though.
