I've thought about getting reloading equipment for my .357, but I'm unsure on what all I'm going to need. Does anyone have any advice for a newbie?

Do a search on the subject. Many threads deal with this subject, quite often. One of the package deals from Hornady, Lee or RCBS will have just about every thing you will need.
Buying a new reloading manual, reading and understanding the art of reloading is the best place to start.0 -
Buy this book -- ABC's or reloading.

Then if you have the cash buy a Dillon Progressive reloader. With the Dillon you can load 4x's the ammo of most single stage or turret presses.
I'm using a Lynman All American turret press that one of the members gave me here. It does the job but is alot slower than a Dillon.0 -

+1! have an idea what you want before you buy it. Also, after you decide on getting equipment, try and find someone who reloads who can help walk you through the steps. Hopefully they can also help you get an idea on some equipment to get you going in a safe direction.
I suggest no matter whether pistol or rifle you go with a single stage press to start with. Once you get all the "how's and why's" figured out and you shoot a bunch, then you can move up to a progressive.0 -

but I've been loading for 50 years and still havn't gone the progressive route...0 -
Thanks for the info everyone. I guess I have some homework to do. I'm still trying to decide how much I have to shoot to get a return on my investment, and if I'll shoot that much. But I like to research things before I plunge into them, it generally saves me money, time, & aggravation.

Get the Lee reloading kit with the Lee reloading manual. It's got everything you need minus dies and components. midwayusa.com has an outstanding selection for everything else (and the kit as well.)
happy reloading.0
