Greetings,
Handloader Ammunition Reloading Journal put out by Wolf Publishing and Load Data dot com are good sources for reliable articles and data, together with the Hodgdons and ADI on line load data. The first two are subscription services but some of the Load Data articles are open source. More importantly find yourself a mentor. Nelson is a hot bed of Deerstalkers target shooting so make contact with your local NZDA branch. You should find someone there. I did a thread about 2020 for those new to handloading that you might want to look up. The .223 together with the .308 are likely the two easiest cartridges to load for on the planet. PM me if you have specific questions, I load for the .223 (two rifles) and have heaps of chronographed data.
Regards Grandpamac.
