Just looked at the cartridge, You will need a little cutoff saw to trim the case and a case trimmer to get the final length.
The brass will be pretty brittle, FYI meaning it will not be able to be reloaded many times before it splits.
However, if you get an annealer it will take care of that.
It's kinda the same concept as the .300 blk though blk ammo is readily available now.
Almost all my brass is old 5.56 or .223 that I've cut down and resized.
It takes a little while but I enjoy doing it.
My case trimmer is a redding. It's OK but I'm thinking about replacing it with the LE Wilson.
Here is the cutoff saw:

I actually already bought the saw and the brass jig. I have the 358 Yeti dies and 308 Winchester dies. I need the press, trimmer, scale, and all that. I've done a fair amount of internet research as far as annealing and was either going to buy the annealeez or do a diy machine. I haven't done a lot of looking at the different presses. I'll look at the two you suggested. I saw a thread of yours that suggests you know your way around a rifle and developing a load for it. I'm a little nervous about jumping in to it because I'm starting with with a pretty obscure cartridge and have no experience.
