Just wanted to celebrate my most fun day in years; I took an NRA-sponsored pistol/rifle reloading class today from a local instructor. Great day, lots of learning and lots of experience tips! Next, I buy a press kit and dies and practice. Lots of practice!
Welcome to your new hobby (and a valuable adjunct to your shooting hobby, whatever category that may be, hunting, target shooting, competition, plinking etc.)
We could target our advice better if you shared some information about yourself: (What I use has no relevance to you if our needs are not similar.)
What calibers will you be reloading?
What quantities will you be reloading for those calibers? (Per month)
How much time will you be willing to devote to those quantities?
How large of production runs before swapping calibers?
What is your budget for the initial purchase? (Not components, just the equipment)
Will you want to get your entire setup at once or, after an initial setup that does all you need, add accessories and conveniences as your experience suggests and finances permit?
Will you be putting your gear away after each session or leave it set up permanently?
How much space will you devote permanently to a loading area, if any?
Do you want it to be portable?
What are your shooting goals? Cheap ammo? Ultimate long-range accuracy? Casual plinking, Serious competition - what kind? Cowboy Action Shooting? Strictly hunting? Personal defense? Skills development?
Thanks for asking our advice.
