TNBulldog-
If it's not too late, I'd consider buying your equipment over the internet rather than in a store. I thought about reloading for a year before I actually made the plunge, and part of my hesitation was seeing all this mysterious reloading crap (still don't know what all it is) in my local big box store. This local store doesn't sell kits, has a limited selection, and is pretty expensive.
Things got a lot rosier when I started looking at some of the online places. I'm partial to Midshouth Shooter's Supply, Graf's, and Midway, but you can also buy stuff from Bass Pro Shops, Cabelas, and places like that. Check out some of the starter kits from the internet places, shipping isn't that much, you'll probably avoid sales tax, and the online places I've found have much better prices and selection. I use the local store for powder/primers sometimes but no dies or other reloading equipment.
Come to think of it, once you get into it, I recommend internet places for the powder/primers too. I used to go to the local stores or the local gun shows for that stuff. I saved up for a several-hundred dollar buy from Powder Valley of primers and powder recently, and it was such a good experience I'll probably just do that in the future. Their low prices offset the shipping and hazmat fees, so with a big buy, I got a lot of stuff for less than if I'd gone to the local gun show, and I didn't have to spend 1/2 a day going there and getting it either, delivered right to my door this way.
To address your original question - ditto to the Lee and Lyman manuals. I also bought Speer #13 and like it pretty well, any of those would suit your purposes. Also mega-dittos to checking out youtube videos with different kinds of equipment, and this forum.
