You should also have at least two reloading manuals (read 'em), and if you haven't read the ABCs of reloading, that should be first on your list.

Congats on your new addiction! I have found it to be one of the most satisfying hobbies whether you are doing single stage or progressive. Just be careful, the money saving reasons for reloading may end up costing you!

Welcome and I'm pretty new to the game as well. I've found reloading to be almost as fun as shooting...almost. I also find I'm just a little disappointed when I get all of my brass used up and I don't have anything else to reload. Heck I just went down to the basement today and put a new top on my reloading bench and rearranged my press, powder measures, and all of my equipment since I didn't have anything to reload. I even moved my reloading bench to a more feng shui location. Good luck and check out the ABC's of reloading, it's a good read. I need to get Lee's reloading manual next.

I would really enjoy it if I could get powder and primers!

Powder and primers are readily available everywhere - you just have to be willing to pay the current market price for them

Not only the price the shipping is what kills you

You made an excellent choice for a press. It will let you spend more time shooting, and less time fondling each cartridge. I've been very happy with mine and I've done a fair number of rounds with it (>30K 45acp on this machine - never rebuilt). I can sit down and knock off 350 rounds in an hour - including setup.
