Be sure to take a look at catalogs to see all the different components for reloading. It does take a bit to get set up, but its like your kitchen. You need the big things (range & fridge), but then you use skillets and stockpots and bowls and cooking utensils and eating utensils and plates and cups....
Reloading is the same. First you have the press, but then you also need the dies for resizing your cases. You need to have different size powder depending on the caliber of the rifle or handgun or the gauge of the shotgun. Then there is quite a variety of bullets and primers and shot. And of course, you need something to measure the different grains of powder, and a funnel to get it into the shell. And you have to do it all in a certain order.
You definitely need a Reloading Handbook. It will tell you step-by-step what to do and what equipment & supplies you need.
Names to look for ... Barnes ... Lee ... CCI ... Hornady ... Lyman ...
Midway USA is a good supplier. There are others.
Accuracy is EXTREMELY important. You will also want to be aware of static electricity issues at your reloading bench. Our bench is made of 2x12" lumber and is where a closet used to be. Shelves above and below for supplies. We also keep most of the hand equipment (like the primer loader thingy) in the original packaging to keep it dust free & from getting bumped around between reloading sessions. This isn't something you do on a daily basis, generally.
