The 30-06 was the cartridge I started reloading first. In 1957, when I was 13 yo. I got several reloading manuals, talked it over with some friends in the gun club, and loaded thousands of rounds with absolutely no problems.
However, I did some things to make sure it was safe. I used heavy bullets (180 gr.) with 4831 powder; the load for this combination basically filled the case. No chance of a double charge.
Handgun ammo loaded with fast powders requires much more caution.
Try the '06. It will be a lot of fun. Walt
