i'm fairly new myself and read the books.I had a guy that worked with me knew reloading but talked about hot loads and compressed loads a little too much for my flavor but he still was able to teach me quit a bit.I just researched alot and picked middle of the road loads for safety and it worked fine.Be a wary of the new reloader that is an expert.I've meet a few.Might want to try your local sportsman clubs.Most anybody that does reload will make time to help a person learning.
