To start with your neighbors press, about all you'll need is a good set of dies (Hornady,RCBS.Lyman or Redding) some large rifle primers and bullets. If you're going to load cast bullets get a can of 5744 powder, and with jacketed either 748 or rl15 powder.
Might want to pickup a Lyman 49th Reloading Handbook.

This is an article on entry level reloading. Some may suggest a single stage press rather than the Lee Loader though. I got started in much the same way and then bought used equipment, then moved on to new stuff when I could afford it. I got a used C-H single stage press on ebay for $13.00 that was 20+ years old at the time (7 yrs. ago) and it still cranks out good, accurate ammo if I do my part. BUT, your first purchase should be a good manual with a "How To" section, Like the Lyman 49th.

Go slow, be safe, and enjoy!
