What brand does everyone use? Lyman? RCBS? Hornady? Lee?

What all does one have to buy? All inclusive aside from the obvious, brass, bullets, powder and primers.

Thanks,

Go to a pawn shop and get a used RCBS Rockchucker or equivalent single stage press. Get the right shell holder and any available set of dies, a cheap balance scale and some One Shot case lube. Then forget most of what has been said about making this harder than it needs to be, ask a friend that has loaded before to help and start reloading.

It isn't rocket science, but it does need to be done right. When you have gotten some experience under your belt, then you can progress into some of the other advice, but for now just keep it simple...
