If you read a couple of loading manuals, and do some research into learning how to recognize pressure signs, you can soon be loading safe ,functional ammunition. Pay special attention into beginning with a starting load, and working up your loads, since contrary to what some people believe, not all loads listed in all manuals, will be safe in all rifles. Some people get the stupid idea that it's just a waste of time to work up loads, and they start with a maximum load listed in a manual, or online , and they are the people that usually end up having to beat a bolt open, or end up ruining their cases because the primer pockets won't hold a primer after one or two firings.
Once you are comfortable loading safe ammunition, you can start learning how to develop the most accurate loads for your firearm, as it's not usually as simple as choosing the so called" most accurate load" from some manual. Sometimes you get lucky and find a great load almost immediately, and sometimes you find out that your rifle is fussy, and it can result in having to try several bullet/powder combinations, before you find one that your rifle shoots very accurately.
