Countryside, having a mentor to guide you would be a great way to dip a toe in and hopefully a local can offer an olive branch. I often offer my services to folks getting started. if they take it up it's up to them, but i encourage you to think on it.
You don't need to spend a fortune to reload quality ammunition. If you're needs are a small volume each year, say a few hundred per rifle and two rifles. You can load with a lee hand tool, a set of scales or dippers, a lube pad and lube. A set of verniers will also help. I did it this way all through uni in my dorm and worked just fine.
Next step up is a small press (hand or bench) and dies. Like any hobby you can spend as much or as little as you want depending on your objectives.
