IF you have yet started reloading then make sure your friend is adept at it, and can teach you.

To get the feel of your rifle. Start with some factory rounds Rem Core lokt in the 100grains for 25-06 is a good place to start. Save your brass.

FWIW
When you decide to load
Get a couple of books ABC's of Handloading. A Manual matching your bullet brand choice.

Start with
* One make of Bullet and one weight.
* One type of lg. rifle primers
* One type of powder
* 20 pieces of same trademarked brass

Keep a journal of your loads,the range conditions and their accuracy on paper.

There is alot more to handloading than these few suggestions I write, you ow it to yourself to learn the equipment, proper techniques and safe recipes. Take your time keep things very simple as you start.
