Markj--THE BEST instruction book IMNSHO, is
The ABC's of Reloading put out by Krause Publishing. They are up to the 7th edition; they must be doing something right. (If you find an old 6th ed, that one is good too IMX.) It is an XLNT how-to and more importantly why-and-why-not-to kind of work. Lots of new tricks for both new and old dogs.
Best references for loading for pistol would be Lyman's 48th edition general reloading handbook, Lyman's cast bullet handbook, and Lyman's pistol & revolver reloading handbook.
Get 'em @ yr local sptg gds sto, gun sho, the I'net, or the ABC's from the publisher

Do I sound like a salesman? Sorry, I have no financial stake in either publisher, except that of satisfied customer.
Now, after you've done reading the above, you'll be in a much better position to judge what kind of equipment is right for YOU to do yr pistol reloading. Enjoy.
