Invest the time to read the stickies in this section. After that you should know enough to ask specific questions and will be more likely to get better answers. Go ahead and order a reloading manual and read it. Lyman would be my pick.
You'll be best served by gaining knowledge prior to buying stuff. Good luck.

Any dies will work. I like my seater doe to have a micrometer too to make adjusting easy. Other than that it doesn’t matter I have matter, they’ll all get it done.

I’m think of going with the Redding premium deluxe set. Do you have any thoughts on those.
Do you have any friends that shoot long guns? Or buddies that hunt? Especially the hunting thing, having dudes that you know walk you through some of the basics is a big help.
As far as starting out, I got my first bolt gun this year. I read a lot, looking back into archived posts and found as much information as I could on what I thought I was going to do. I also reached out to some friends that have been reloading longer than Ive been able to vote, and got their opinions on things. Then I went out and shot and when I was done with that, I reloaded what I had shot. I learned a lot of shit the hard way, and those are the lessons that will stick with me the best.
As it was said above, get a reloading manual. Read it. Be smart, you are setting off a small explosion right next to your face.
6.5 kicks ass. My friend got a 6.5 Bergara HMR, same rifle as mine but I have a .308. His rifle has been far easier to get to 1000. And it recoils like an AR.
Get a chronograph.

I have no idea how you deciphered that first post but now I get it.
