kherter, you are well on the way to safe loading. By which I mean, when you say you know the basics, but not everything. Lots on here will come across as if they know everything, but since the ballistics technicians for the major ammo companies are still learning, maybe not, eh? Read what each of the component/reloading manufacturers say about reloading, watch their videos, and stay within the numbers. Never load buddy's data, and NEVER, NEVER load forum data. Get a good manual - Hornady, Speer, Hodgdon, - yup, big bucks - study them, cross reference them against manufacturer's websites, and expect to throw the odd oops into the kill bucket!
Enjoy the trip.
