Hey bud! You might want to look into getting the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme Master reloading kit.

This has almost everything you need.

You will also need a dial caliper

and a good set of RCBS .45acp and .223 dies.

I just started dude and it's addicting. I have a very similar setup but I pieced it all together. Mostly because I got most of this stuff used at a really good price.

I'm pressing .45acp and 9mm. I just loaded a couple hundred 9mm and I can't wait to put it thru the P6. The .45 I loaded is leaps and bounds over factory WWB ammo.

Bootcamp gave good advice. Cut your teeth on a RCBS single stage. When you have mastered that, you can get a Lee Pro1000 progressive and load your .45 ammo in bulk with a lot less work. Go slow, ask questions, always exercise caution and enjoy!

If progressive,go for the Dillon.

I wouldn't suggest a progressive until he's confidently mastered single stage. I have reloaded just over 500 rounds and I am comfortable with single stage but i'd like to experiment with different powders and projectiles before I move onto progressive.
