Excellent advice as long as the rifle and ammunition combination has less than about 10 ft-lb of recoil energy.
You can calculate by going
here for your dream rifle and ammunition combination. Go to the recoil calculator after you have entered the base load and the characteristics of your rifle and ammunition.
Generally, the load can be factory ammunition and any load manual can get you about the right powder charge. The main thing is that most factory data is for a different barrel length than the one you plan to use. The calculator allows you to use your barrel length in the "New Load and Barrel Length" section.
