You bet!! It's the only way to get the best possible ammo! I started reloading (.30/'06) at age 13, but I had had a lot of applicable experience from loading muzzleloading rifles, before that! Everything I know about guns & ammo I taught myself, never had any help/guidance from anyone, except the Lyman/Ideal Handbook to begin with and later a lot of other good reference material (American Rifleman, Handloader Mag., Rifle Mag., P.O. Ackley's books, Townsend Whelen's books, Phil Sharpe's "COMPLETE GUIDE TO HANDLOADING", Elmer Keith & Jack O'Connor's books, and Bob Hagels's book on Game Loads & Practical Ballistics for the American Hunter! Also, get a copy of Hatcher's Notebook, and READ, READ, READ!!.

As long as you can read and are willing to read, and willing to follow instructions, you'll have no problems! Just stay away from heavy loads until you learn the basics!! Pay close attention to the small details, and

HAVE FUN!!
