Default Handloading advice

I am getting ready to handload for the first time. I will be loading a 30-06 and I understand bullets are specific to guns. (not all bullets shoot well in all guns)
I would appreciate help with how to test loads. I have read to load nine loads with each bullet. Three loaded at factory spec, three slightly light and three slightly heavy. Is this best?
I have a shooting vise so accuracy tests should be easy. However my local AFGA range is only 100 yards. Should I find a place to test at more than 100 yards? I would like to be confident to shoot at 300 yards.
Do I need to have equipment to read muzzle velocity?

The most important question is "How do I identify pressure problems"?
