You will need a caliper. The $12 caliper on amazon works.
You will need an impact bullet puller, we all make mistakes.
The Speer manual covers only Speer bullets. Consider also getting the Lyman manual.
Look at the Black and Decker Workmate for a fold-up bench.
RCBS Supreme Master Kit is what I started with, it has just about everything you need. Really about all else you HAVE to have to get started is calipers to measure overall length and I'd highly recommend a bullet puller for any oopsies. Theres some other stuff I'd recommend for convenience, but that will at least get you going I got my kit for half of what it costs on amazon locally at a closeout sale.
The lyman 50th edition reloading manual has a great intro to reloading if you want to pick it up and see if it's something you want to do. Even buying the kit at amazon prices you'd break even with somewhere around 200 rounds assuming you pay $2 per round for off the shelf subsonic .45-70.
At least save your brass in case you ever do decide to get into it, lots of people have thrown brass away for years only to be kicking themselves when they finally decide to get into reloading.
Poke around on r/reloading some
I love me some Shootersproshop for their Nosler blems, but that price is not the best. Brownells has it listed for $365 (out of stock) but with the plethora of coupon codes, its not out of the realm to get that for $330'ish with coupon code.
If you want it now, Amazon has it for $319 but there's probably tax involved. If you want it "now" then there's a few cheaper options.
If you can wait and might be willing to play the long game, there's been two years of price-drops around the Black Friday timeframe from other retailers, notably MidwayUSA, Cabelas and Natchez, but that's not a guarantee.
https://www.amazon.com/RCBS-9354-Supreme-Master-Kit/dp/B00T9YKW60 is the RCBS one(I didn't price search much).. it looks like you get the tumbler and a case trimmer with the Hornady, but not the RCBS. I'd expect product quality to be near the same for both brands.
What's the difference between that one and the RCBS? Or, what would I be paying more for that this one doesn't have? https://www.amazon.com/RCBS-9354-Supreme-Master-Kit/dp/B00T9YKW60/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1511483036&sr=8-2&keywords=rock+chucker+press
I'd say buy him a kit and maybe some dies to start. Pistol calibers are relatively easy to reload and don't require trimming of the cases.
It's cheaper from Amazon.
