Get the Lyman book to start with and give it a good read, then and this might be controversial, start out small and see if this is really something that you want to stick with. Rather than dumping a load of dollars into something, go small say with a Lee 10 pound pot and a Lee 2 cavity mould. Oh, and a piece of an old broom stick will work as a mallet.
