As a minimum you need.
A Press
Dies
Shell holders
Priming tool
Lube
Case neck brush
Primer pocket cleaning tool
Debur and chamfer tool
Funnel
Scale
Trimmer (Lee has a trimmer that is very inexpensive)
Bullets
Powder
Brass
Primers.
Those are the basics, (if I didn't forget anything) you could make it work with what airline just listed.
You could buy a kit with pretty much everything, but I think that you could get all the pieces individually for less money if you shopped around.
I would start with a single stage press. RCBS Rockchucker is what I use still. Also what I started on. Had it for 10 years without a single issue ever.
I recommend FL sizing Brass. I have neck sized my brass in the past, but I don't really feel like there is any real observable advantage to neck sizing over FL sizing.
I also don't ever Crimp Bottle neck rifle cartridges. Except for semiauto guns. And even then, only if there is a cannelure.
Other can add to this I am sure, but it's a great hobby that is hard to get bored with. There are just so many options.....
