What about the workspace? You will need a solid bench to work on. 2x4Basics has a kit that allows you to build a bench that fits your space
Also, containers for your equipment, components & bulk finished product. Go to a dollar store and get what you need there.

Silly as it seems, get a notebook just for reloading. Soon you will start experimenting with different charges & weights and it is smart to write down the combinations because your memory will fail you.

Good point again - yep Miggy let me rewrite that .....smart to write down the combinations because your memory WILL fail you.

Also of course - write load data on each batch - MTM boxes are very handy for reloads but many other compartmentalized ammo boxes around.

Looks like you received plenty of good advice except for one: Take your time especially as a newbie and check alot of rounds, also make maybe 10-20 rounds at a time and test them so you won't have to go redoing hundreds of rounds at a time that aren't quite right.

Nothing wrong with the Lee, I use it to load my 9mm, no problem loading a few hundred rounds in a week.
For my .45 I do use the Dillon but I load and shoot more .45.

Oh, one other thing - get the factory crimp die.
