Doesn't have to be fancy. You can make stuff that goes bang with a Lee Loader and a mallet, if you save your brass.
For a good intermediate kit, an RCBS Rockchucker is a nice press, and they make good dies, also. I also use Lee dies, and the factory crimper is nice. I also like the hand primer, trimmers that can be used in a drill, and the Lee Handloader hand press.
I like using a powder measure, and just use a scale to verify the first few and the last few loads dropped.
I use a cheap Canadian Tire Vernier caliper, and a very basic Chrony chronograph.
I don't use a vibratory cleaner, as I don't need sparkling, new looking brass, and they also put a lot of lead dust in the air. I just hand wash the brass.
