A Lee Classic Cast press is a good pick for your use case.
Nice big window, plenty of space for longer cartridges, decent value.
Not the most precise perhaps, but more than good enough.
Other than that, you'll want a sizing / decapping die, a seating die, and a lee factory crimp die.
Plus a case trimmer, a deburring tool, a powder thrower, a hand priming tool (the on press ones aren't good in my experience), decent scales, a decent set of calipers, probably a tumbler so you can clean used brass.
There's also some resizing lube, plus consumables. A couple of case loading blocks are useful to keep everything organized.
You will want a loading notebook. Capture extensive notes on what you're doing, how it performed, and why, especially as a newbie.
The Lee / RCBS / Hornady starter kits are pretty good to start out with and give you 99% of the stuff you'll want.
You mentioned it already, but I do want to emphasize that you should buy at least one manual, and read it carefully. It's worth the time, and might save you some real issues.
