Since you have live & in-person people to teach you, you are WAY ahead.

The best thing you can do is be VERY attentive to what they show & tell you and ask questions about everything that isn't 110% clear to you.
Reloading is a GREAT hobby and way to further your shooting efforts - but like all things firearm-related........... there are some inherant dangers to be on the watch for. Take the safe route in all things (even if it seems silly to you) and you can be loading your own ammo for the next 60+ years.
AND if your help there can't/don't answer your questions to your satisfaction - then check in with us here and on other forums to see if you can find out what you want to know.........take advantage of ALL of the knowledge you can get your hands on.
Great Advise,Mark! I'm sure his father appreciates it!
