I've got an old (circa 1985) Speer manual. I think it's their #5. Any good guide will do, plus there is a wealth of information from the net! We have a LOT of printed material from the net along with the Speer manual.

Keep me posted and I'll help you out if I can. I forgot to mention ONE thing though... Be SURE to purchase head space gages, ESPECIALLY for rimless rifle cartridges! Straight walled pistol catridges aren't so critical because they headspace on the casemouth and length can be checked with a dial caliper. But I had one potentially serious problem a couple of years ago that Squantos helped me sort out and a headspace gage verified that we didn't have a sizing die seated into the press FAR enough. It created a condition where a semi-auto .308 rifle "could" have fired out of battery.

I put high value on headspace gages, and a GOOD scale. :-)
