Best tip I could give is if your just starting to handload, learn to make safe good ammo befor going on to making super accurate ammo. Other than by accident, you can only make good safe ammo by following all the rules.

Next tip is to never never ever touch your primers with your hands. The narural oil in your skin can kill a primer dead.

Last tip is to not take a load from anywhere and just start loading in your rifle. A safe load in one rifle could be a dangerious load in another. I don't post powder charges I use.

The real last tip. The loads in the manual your are looking at were safe in the gun they were tested in at the time they were tested. Always start 10% below max and work up from there watching for pressure.

The absolute last tip. A barfing dog never bites!
