For the basics you will need a loading manual, press, die set, shell holder and a powder scale.
There are many other tools and gadgets that make thing easier but they can be had later.

Most of the of the manufactures make "kits" which include the basic things and maybe some other things such as loading blocks, powder measures deburring tools etc.
