Actual reloading needs

All advice above is solid. I would additionally suggest that step 1 would be to buy a reloading manual from any of the big players (RCBS, Hornady, Lee, etc.) and read it front to back. You will likely find it enjoyable...and it's a great resource to keep on your bookshelf once you start loading (even though you can find load data online). Then, start making some decisions on equipment and ask around from folks on places like here for advice/opinions. Have fun!
You don’t HAVE to buy one. You can watch a million reloading videos online, and find 3 sources for reloading data (only trust info from powder/bullet manufacturers) on a single cartridge in 30 seconds. Hodgedon, nosler, sierra, Hornady. They all post some online. You could also make a post and have someone DM you a photo from one of the manuals.
Or you can spend ~$20 and have a hard copy for yourself.
 
I started with all the cheap hand tools and some old inherited stuff. Was amazed by the accuracy and cost savings. Pretty quickly upgraded a lot of things. The electric case prepper was first. My hands were hurting from deburrimg trimming and chamfering. It's a lot of fun and addicting. Watch for estate sales and Craigslist. I've seen some amazing deals
