I found you only needed to lube about 1 case in 3, and I preferred steel dies even though they might wear a little.

You very certainly do need different powders for rifle calibres from pistol. Don't load anything until you understand what that's about.
Don't want to scare the lad but I personally know of a ruger lbr in 44 mag blown up.....then his under lever in same calibre followed suit.....then another person blew his under lever up by forcing larger bullets into cases.....reloading is easy if you know what you are doing.....ask an experienced reloader to show you the ropes and ask on here if you are not sure.
