Welcome aboard! You haven't picked the best time to get started! Right now powder is kinda hard to find because so many folks are reloading. For a while there bullets, primers, and brass, along with powder was almost impossible to find, but things are getting better. As far as equipment goes, they all do the job, spend what you want. I choose to use Lee, but a lot of folks like RCBS, or Maybe the Hornady presses. It's your choice. They all sell a set up for beginners that will have almost everything you need to get started, with some exceptions. Dies. You must have a set of dies for every caliber you reload. Calibers like .38, and .357; .44 special, and .44 magnum, can be loaded on the same set of dies, they just need to be adjusted for the difference in case length. Hand gun reloading is different that rifle, and about as simple as shotgun, but they are all different. You might want to start simple, with pistol for example. Get yourself at least two reloading manuals, read them. Use them for every load you build. There are bullets out there that might not be in any reloading manual that you have, so stick to what's in your manuals, and follow the load warnings closely. Again Welcome! Good luck, and happy reloading. And don't forget to get a kinetic bullet puller, you will need it, and I don't think they come in the kits.
