Read them... the internet is all well and good when looking for loads but.
1-Often, unless it is a manufactures site the loads are worked out for the posters rifle only and We've all seen some dodgy loads posted on various sites
2- Never, until/ unless you are very experienced never exceed the top load in a modern manual

One more thing that may help
NZ Guns and Hunting started a series of Articles called Metallic reloading 101 . It was for memory a series designed for a new comer to reloading to read and gain some understanding of the process for scratch, these may well be worth looking up, started Nov/Dec 2017 issue I believe.
Good luck and don't forget heaps of folk here willing to help when you get stuck so ask questions as you go along.

Lastly talking about that, two reasonably priced but almost essential pieces of equipment I needed early on and [Ahem, sometimes still do] was a Stuck Case remover and a Bullet Puller of some sort, I will almost guarantee that at some stage you will need one or the other, and probably both.

+1 on the bullet puller and case remover.
