Greetings @Countryside,
The thread I mentioned was called "Keeping it Simple for New Handloaders" and the last post was on 13/01/21. I suggest you have a look at it and (I can't stress this too much) find a mentor. Join one of the shooting clubs, NZDA or similar which should get you on the right track. I loaded my first cartridge about 1970 and I still learn things damn near every time I sit down at the bench. It is hard to provide the level of detail you need in posts or even threads and U tube can be good, bad or indifferent all in the same one. Getting a manual, mentioned above, is a good start especially one of the older ones. Most mentors, including me, just do it for the joy of seeing someone learn what can be an extremely rewarding pastime. In 1980 I subscribed to Handloader mag and still do. This has advanced my learning no end. You may not need much of what you may be told by some is absolutely essential kit. I am a very low tech handloader, originally out of necessity and more recently by choice. Please ask me any questions you have.
Regards Grandpamac
