Always nice to see a new member in the ranks. I assume you want to reload metallic cartridges for rifle and pistol. With that in mind, I'll make a few comments.
There are several brands to examine for reloading tools and accessories. The amount, cartridges, and degree of accuracy and interest you have will influence your choices.
The gamut runs from Lee tools (less expensive) to Lyman to RCBS, Redding, Forster, Hornady for the biggest names. RCBS has sort of set the standard for presses and general equipment. The RCBS "Rockchucker' press is timeless, and highly regarded. They can be found used at gun shows once in a while. The others mentioned all have pretty complete lines of equipment. You can access their web sites and see pics of the various items. Other brands of equipment are still occasionally found used if you know what to look for.
Before you do that, however, find and buy a copy of Lyman's # 48 reloading manual ($20) Any manual will help, but Lyman's is arguably the most complete for descriptions, articles, etc as well as load data. RCBS has a rather complete online 'how-to' page at their site. Peruse these sources and get a good feel for the mechanics of the operation before you invest. After that, you can assemble a list of equipment and accessories and hit the stores/internet shops.
It is, in my opinion, good to start with and learn with a 'single stage' press, rather than going to a progressive press initially. You see and do all the steps yourself, learn what's going on with each operation, and can monitor things closely. With a progressive, lots of things are going on at a time and it's harder to catch a problem. And, somewhere along the line, you'll find a need for a single stage press.
Most of the manufacturers have 'kits' that include the basic equipment for reloading. These provide a cheaper way to get into it, starting at about $225-250. You can't go really wrong with any of the makers, lots of it is your level of interest and pocket book.
I personally started with press/scale/dies from Herter's, back in the early 70's. I recently set up a used Rockchucker just to have an additional press. You can't go wrong with RCBS for basic equipment.
Good Luck, -West
