Keep an eye on americanreloading.com. Selection is not huge, but you can get great deals on brass and pulled bullets. As to press, a single stage is a great starter press. If you plan to load pistol ammo, my typical rec for a starter press is the Lee Classic Turret. You can use it as a single stage, but the auto index speeds up the pistol loading process.
Brass, keep looking. Several here sell brass. Starline is preferred for new.
I was taught on a RCBS Rock Chucker in 1975. I bought a Rock Chucker and used it for 40 years. Bought a Dillon 4 years ago. 99% of loading is still done on the Rock Chucker. Rifle cartridges and Rock Chucker are like bread and butter.

Thanks for the Lead!!! Perfect timing.
You guys are the best. This is one of the most helpful communities I have been a part of. Thanks for all the advice and for sharing your experience.
single stage is great , dongs in tulsa has 6.5 prc brass, aslo loaded 143 Hornady at 54.00 you can shoot and reload , have you tried berger 130s in your 6.5 prc, (excellent whitetail load
For your bullets I say drive to Sedalia, Mo. and buy the seconds at the Sierra factory. Usually, the best price you'll find and worth the trip.
I still use an RCBS single stage press too, as well as their manual trimmer, beam scale, chamfer and debur tools etc...
They still generate just as much accuracy as the $$$$ setups...just takes longer to get the rounds loaded.
