I’m 100% self taught with YouTube videos and reloading manuals. My first firearm I reloaded for? A 135 year old Webley revolver, reloading semi-home brew low pressure 45ACP rounds. After 600 rounds and a year, revolver is still shooting great.
If you can, start reloading on pistol cartridges (including .38 or .357 for lever actions) as they’re way way way easier and faster than rifle cartridges. Plus the components are generally cheaper and way more forgiving. If there’s any help you think you might want, feel free to DM and I’ll do what I can :)
