I have spent many hours reading this forum, books and other sources online.
My suggestion is read the forum, get a book (some are free ebook) no need to buy them. If you want loading data find it online, ask for help or buy load data book.
As for equipment Lee Classic Turret is a minimum. Don't bother with single stage and don't bother with progressive right now.
As for cost effective with minimum waste on "kits" I recommend https://kempfgunshop.com/Kempf_Kit_w...4Kit-6575.html
Plus a good scale from amazon for powder, decent micro caliper at HF.
Hell, i cast my own bullets now and equipment cost me less then 20 bucks plus cost of mould.
