First, 2 or 3 reloading books. They will also give you a tutorial in reloading.
2, stay away from Lee, use Hornady or Rcbs dies... there are some more expensive but these 2 work.
3, 6mm Arc brass would be first choice, esp since you are new.
4, Any Berger that is strictly Vld will be hard to do b/c it is so long, needs to be up close to lands and you rifle will be mag length limited. Hybrid or classic ogive, probably ok. Normal max seating length will be 2.260 but several bullets need to be shorter, you will want headspace and OAL comparators and modified case to check this for each bullet type, the seating length to the lands (so you can stay short of that limit).
5, Primers, use small rifle, mag or AR rated ones, like cci #41, cci450, Fed 205AR (I'm assuming you will use these in an AR). Never use Rem 6 1/2.
6. Other things, a nice caliper, case tray(s) for holding your cases, lube (like Hornady one shot), primer tool,
