I'd start with the Lyman manual.

I'd also skip the adjustable charge bar; you don't need it. You'll be fine with the standard cavity sizes in the included disks.

You don't need a riser either.

You don't need a Classic Cast. I had one, and it was great. But not any better than the Challenger I have now with the steel linkages. Just a lot heavier and more expensive.

You'll need a caliper, and a 4-die set of carbide dies. (I recommend Lee)

Their scale is good too; simple, accurate, and cheap. I check my powder drops from time to time with this.

As for components, the brass doesn't matter much, but start with new brass for the first time. Starline (*---*), Winchester, and Remington (R-P) are all good.

A good all-around powder is Unique. You can make powder puff loads as well as light magnums with that. If you find you want more, step up to 2400 or H110, but you can't really load those down.

Primers: small pistol magnum. Brand doesn't matter.

Bullets: I like Berry's, after trying many different ones. (berrysmfg.com)

Loading trays, to keep things organized. I like Hornady's.

A dial caliper. (digital is nice, but they eventually need batts)

A inertia bullet puller hammer.
