The 32s have me wishing I was a reloader for sure. I’d like to do it but honestly I think I’d need someone to hold my hand throughout the process of getting set up and my first few runs of ammo. I just don’t feel comfortable doing it on my own.
Well, it's good to be cautious. As you said, I had a buddy help me out when I got started.
One can learn, however, by getting any of the manuals from the industry and reading up.
I suggest an RCBS Rock Chucker to start with. It's a single stage press which means slow deliberate going but that's what you want right now. Lee also makes a single stage, bench mounted press at a price point.
Read up, and start with .38 special, which is the easiest handgun cartridge to load for IMO. You will need carbide dies and also a crimping die for each handgun cartridge you load for.
From the load data in whichever manual you're working from, choose a bullet and a load and go to work. I suggest starting at about the middle of a load range or maybe a bit below it even. These are practice loads, right?
This exploits one of the advantages of the revolver , load versatility. You can start with a light load and then according to your needs you can work your way up to hotter loads.
Don't, however, approach the minimum nor maximum loads listed in your manual. If you need a .22 load just shoot your .22. If you need a load that approaches maximum, don't be macho with your reloading, just buy a bigger gun.
Anyway yes, there's a lot to learn but there's also an entry point. Read up also in the reloading section here at THR and any other shooting forums you frequent.
BTW I'm not an expert, you don't have to go far at all to find someone whose knowledge on the subject exceeds my own.
I enjoy it tremendously though. The ability to load a wide variety of loads for any given cartridge has had a lot to do with me staying with revolvers.
For a beginner my advice would be to buy a manual, read it, don't deviate from the load data, and don't test the limits at either end.
Oh yeah... If it ain't fun you aren't doing it right.
