Default Need help getting started reloading

Hello
Thanks in advance for any help.

I decided to get into reloading since I purchased a S&W Model 629 in 44 Magnum and thought it would be neat to reload my own ammo.
The following is a description of what I bought on ebay;

HEAVY DUTY RCBS ROCK CHUCKER REPOADING PRESS. COMES COMPLETEWITH PRIMER CATCH TRAY, PRIMER ARM, AUTO PRIMER FEEDER WITH LARGE & SMALL PRIMER TUBES. PRESS IS SHOWING A LITTLE PAINT WEAR BUT NO RUST WORKS VERY SMOOTH. ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE DEAL IS 3 SHELL HOLDERS #2,#6,#10, ASPEER HARD BACK RELOADING MANUAL #10, 2 CASELOADING BLOCKS, AND A FULLBOTTLE OF RCBS CASE LUBE and a set of dies for 44 mag. I also ordered a dvd on reloading by RCBS.

Heres my question. Since I plan on being near a Cabelas and Sportsmans Warehouse on friday, I know I need a scale, but what other items are needed for basics just to get going? I have some brass that was used once. Also what is a good powder to start out with?

Thanks
Dan
