I suggest the following (very cheap).

Get a lee handloader kit for about $20.00.

Buy 2 good reloading manuals for about $40.00.

Read them all.

Pick a bullet and powder and primer from the card in the lee kit and verify it with the books.

Buy bullets, powder and primers.

Follow the lee instructions and load up your brass for a few thousand times.

By the time you are skilled with the lee kit, you will have figured out how to be accurate, understand the prinipals of reloading and will have a lot of safe confidence in you skills. And besides, you will have built up some good forearm muscles.
