Someone mentioned that there are very few safe shortcuts. One tool that can aid in finding problems early ie: kind of a short cut, is a Chrony. For a $150.00 it is a worthy investment. It will help you to predict when pressure levels are too high and help compare your load to the load in the book. Different barrels will produce different pressure. A custom barrel often has less or nill free bore and will produce much higher pressure. A chrony will allow you to see how yours compares to the book. Also You Tube has tons of step by step resources form die set up and basic reloading to advanced reloading ie: neck turning, annealing, consentricity etc.
