I have years of spent brass in buckets at home, and I want to start reloading all of my 357s and 45acp. I don't know where to start. As of right now I want to get person to person feedback before I get any books etc.

I had my eye on the Hornady Lock-N-Load Progressive press, I feel that I should buy excellent equipment from the start, not beginner equipment that feels, looks, and costs cheap, because I want something to grow into, that's where this comes in.

How does this machine work, and once I purchase the press, dies, obtain materials like bullets, primer and powder, and of course measurement data, is this all I need to get myself going?

And once I get this machine, generally what happens step by step to start loading my brass?

Any recommendations on high quality materials to include also?
