Welcome to the forum. It is never too early or too late in life to gear up for this endeavour! I enjoy reloading so much that I would load my own even if I shot less than a box of 20 a year! As any questions come up, be sure to ask and someone here will be able to help!

What you going to be reloading!

I have got my bench assembled, it's an old desk. I have the Lee Turret press and an old Pacific single stage set up.

I will be loading .38 special, 9mm, and .45 ACP in pistol and
.223, 6.5 Grendel and 300 Blk out in rifle.

I have a good amount of brass already sorted and cleaned, just need primers and bullets

I find tracking down primers and powder harder than any thing else. If you order off line you need to get 10 to 20 thousand at a time to defray hazmat fee. I have found the best deals at local gun show and buy my powder and primers there but you have to one of the first in the door on the first day at least until this madness is over.

That's a perk I have going for me, I work part time for a firearms company and get early access at shows
