Sounds like you have a great space to start a great plan, A lot of great advice from this forum, that is how i got my start 9 years ago.
For pistol caliber reloading, i went with a Dillon Square Deal B (SDB), and i use BE-86 powder exclusively for all my pistol loads, 9mm, 38spc, 357mag. Be-86 will work well with 45acp also. I use Trail Boss for .45LC, but could use BE-86 if needed. I have gone thru multiple powders over time, W231, Longshot, Power Pistol, Bullseye, BE-86, Unique, HP-38, WSF and for me BE-86 turned out to be the best all around for my purposes.
Once you decide what you will use, focus on that and move forward. I would recommend you getting a Chronograph to help validate your reloads. And you will start buying little things to help you reload over time, as you become more experienced you will know what works and does not work for you.
I do have a RockChucker that i use for my rifle loads.
As mentioned before, read the ABC's that is a great starting guide, you will learn over time that not everything is set in stone, because not all combinations of Bullet, powder, primer, brass are in the books, you have to extrapolate sometimes to meet your reloading needs. STAY SAFE and jump right in and pay attention to the basic principles. Know what your doing and why your doing it.
The reloading thread, as previously mentioned has a wealth of knowledge in it, read thru when you can.
