Read some more.

Buy another manual written specifically for the bullets you choose. Read it. Read it again.

This is some of the best advice you can get.
Personally I bought the Lee anniversary kit, but there isn't any tangible difference starting out.

In another thread someone asked for loads that work in his rifle, and got bent when I told him there is no single answer for him.
Can afford the rifle, but apparently not to feed it.

MOST bullets/powder/primers/cases have more accuracy potential than 85% out there will take advantage of, just need to find the combo that works in your rifle.
The other thing you need to get is a chronograph. You will see that every manual lists differing charges of the "same" powder. Every lot is different, a chrono will allow you to see how your powder burns compared to what was tested/reprinted in the manuals. Load "A" may be perfect for one guy, but if your powder is burning differently the "same" load won't actually be the same.
