I learned off others when I started out. Loaded my first rounds 38 yrs ago. Been hooked on the science and process ever since. No YouTube back then
I think having someone competent teach anyone is better than learning from books or YouTube. A lot of little important things tend to get missed. But in saying that it can be a reasonable asset later on if you're having a problem.
Have made every mistake in the book I reckon as well. Still learning.
Whether loading rifle or pistol ammo I have a written process thats pretty detailed so I don't miss anything.
Maybe because I'm getting old and forgetful.
Once on your journey the best advice I can give is to never have distractions....kids, wife, dog or phone.
Only have the components for your particular load on your bench. Double or triple check everything.
Most of all.....Enjoy it. I run into more and more people these days that find it tedious and time consuming. I will never understand that.
Taking an animal, winning or doing well in a match with your own ammo is pretty satisfying.
