I like Spife's list. I would suggest placing a priority on quality over anything else, and get the best you can afford, even if you can't get it all at once.
I've done all my rifle reloading on a Rockchucker that I've had for over 35 years. Any of those brands are fine choices, but if they have different models go for the better one (for example, pick the Rockchucker over Partner in RCBS line).
Priming Tool - I absolutely LOVE the RCBS bench priming tool (Automatic Bench Priming Tool). It is so slick to run, and I highly recommend it, and it doesn't cost much more than a hand primer.

Dies - The best advice I ever got to improve my loads was to switch to the Redding S-Type (bushing) Full-Length Sizing Die. Set it up so that you are full-length sizing and bumping the shoulder back 0.001-0.002", and select a bushing that gives you about .002" neck tension and you will have good results. For the seating die, I'd definitely recommend a micrometer-type, either the Redding Competition Seating Die, or the Forster Ultra Seating Die (my preference).
Trimmer - I'd love to try a WFT, but I haven't had the opportunity. For the lathe type, the one made by Wilson Tool and Gauge is super nice, and I like it better than the others out there.
Lube - Imperial Die Wax is my favorite.
Calipers - I have an expensive set of Mitutoyo digitals, and a cheap Harbor Freight dial caliper. They both always measure the same! I find myself reaching for the dial caliper more often, but I trust it because it has been verified. If I bought another cheap one, I wouldn't trust it until I could verify it is accurate.
Headspace gauge/Bullet comparators - the Hornady stuff is fine, but Sinclair makes their own version that is at least as nice. Depending on caliber, you may end up making the choice based on availability like I did. You need the bullet comparator for your bullet caliber to measure bullet-seating depth, and a headspace (shoulder "bump") gauge for your specific cartridge. You will also need the Body, which holds either of these gauge inserts, and attaches to your calipers.
Powder measure and Trickler - You need them, but take your pick. I'm sure they all work OK. Personally, I have an RCBS measure, and a Redding trickler.
I agree with Spife that list will get you going. Here's some other things that are very handy, and not too expensive:
*Vibratory case cleaner - does a decent job using corncob or ground walnut shell media, and less expensive than stainless steel tumbling.
*Decapping die - it's impossible to get a good headspace measurement on a fired case with a spent primer in place. You need to remove the primer before measuring the case for pre- and post- shoulder bump. It can be done manually, but not very much fun. A decapping die isn't expensive and will be MUCH faster. Sinclair makes a great one, but there are many available for about 20 bucks. Your resizing die will decap, but then the case is already resized, so you can't get your initial, as-fired, pre-sizing headspace length. I usually decap anywhere from 10-20 of a lot of brass, enough to establish a consistent as-fired measurement, then let the rest wait until they go through the sizing die to get decapped.
*Case Neck Expander die - Many people find the expander ball on the resizing die can be a major source of increased bullet runout. I run my dies without one, but if you get a dented case neck you have to be able to expand it (new brass often has lots of dented case mouths if delivered loose in a bag, plus you drop the occasional one on the concrete floor and they always seem to hit on the mouth).
and get a solid idea WHY you need "such and such" equipment... I would advise a borderline "buy once cry once" method to getting your equipment... buy what you can barely afford IF you're going down this road of reloading BECAUSE you enjoy it.... if you doing this to save money, then stop here as you will get burned out..... fast...
