You do not need fancy stuff & may be able to do OK at the right estate sale.  I still use the Herter's press (really a Pacific) that I bought the year after I got out of high school (1959). I switched to RCBS dies because the Herter's were lemons. I bought the $12 shell holder adapter from RCBS.  I still use the same scale I bought back then, although I have an electronic job.  I have an old B&M powder measure from the 30s. It works better than the new ones. I decap & prime with an old Lyman tong tool.

One at a time, one step at a time, and look at the powder level in every case before the bullet goes in.  Good loading blocks are an investment.  You are loading for an old rifle using one of the best cartridges ever made for handloading.  Nothing fancy and never, ever go for the hottest loads.

Old loading books & manuals will tell you more about Krag loads than newer manuals.
