    OK, you have a scale that might do the job initially?
    Shop around for used press and dies, also case holder.

    You will need a few extra bits and bobs but it will get you started.

    E.g.
    DIY or buy a loading block.
    DIY a scoop from a case.
    Buy a powder funnel.
    Prime gently using a punch or buy hand primer.
    Lube using coconut oil and roll cases in your hand. it works.
    Use an empty case as a trickler. Yep, it works too.
    Buy, borrow a set of vernier calipers. (Later)

    Later a trimmer. But you can build up the gear gradually.

    I don't know the prices over there, but here, if your patient there are real bargains.
    And the suggestion someone show you the ropes is a very good one.

    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.
