Go get a Cabells Shooting Catalog, and buy a $27.00 loading book, like Hornady 7th edition, and READ the front section. Very informitave, you learn the ''language'' and what it means(WITH PICTURES!!!) And looking at the catalog, you get an idea how much each piece costs, what it looks like and what its function is. See what you want/what you need. As posted above by others.
As soon as you decide your mind is made up it will change. NO your not going female, its normal for people just starting out. Buy it piece by piece with the highest quality you can afford. Get the most crucial pieces first Press, scale 243 dies,etc. put it on a shelf untill you have enough pcs to start. Make a goal of....1 piece every 2-4 weeks, and birthday/Christmas ideas etc. Even for a meager left over income, its do-able in 8 mo. or less for most anyone.
