Welcome my friend. Knowledge on reloading on this forum is second to None. Reading is good but if you can find an experienced loader in your area to guide you, it would be better.
 
Don't be afraid to ask, (as you say) dumb questions. I'm pretty sure we all have one time or another! I knew a Bergeron in Wyoming and he was from Louisana.
 
Welcome.

There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers. ;)

Do not be reluctant to ask questions. Most members are more than willing to help a fellow shooter. We need all the shooters we can get in the sport.
 
Welcome !
The most reloading knowledge on this site than any other I believe.

What cartridges are you planning to reload for ?
Are going to reload for hunting ... plinking ... targets ?

Whichever your reason get a reloading manual, then be on the lookout for powder, primers, brass and bullets and buy some to stock up on your reloading supplies (they have been a bit difficult to find).

Don’t be afraid to ask questions unless they are REALLY dumb!! Something like - if I run low on smokeless powder can I use firecracker powder instead?
 
Lube cases before sizing!!!!! Nobody mentioned that to me, and after I got the first case stuck in the dies, I put all my reloading stuff away for over 10 years.

No matter what you ask, always remember, I have asked wayyyy stupider . haha! I’m pretty new here. I’m on other forums too, but in my opinion, this is by far the best. The amount of knowledge that is given here daily is insane. Welcome!
 
Welcome Gano, No such thing as a stupid question! If ya dont know the answer yet, just post it & wait for the answers to roll in!:)
 
Welcome. I highly recommend find someone local to mentor you through your learning process. The internet is no place to learn this hobby compared to hands on with experienced people by your side.
 
Welcome! You found a fun hobby. You need to learn about it so you don’t blow your hand off. Read your manuals “how to” pages and learn to use the search feature on this forum. Ask questions! Better to ask a “dumb” question than wind up in the ER!
One of the best things about this forum is the knowledge freely given by our members. We’re here to help.
