Lee Anniversary Kit. Cheapest way to get started. Has everything you need but dies and case length gauge/for trimmer for the caliber you are loading for.

RCBS rock chucker kit. Bought it as my first 15 years ago, still using the same press, never felt the need to upgrade.

Now over the years I have replaced the scale and manual trickler with a PACT digital scale and automatic trickler... that thing is the schnizzle!!!

You can't beat a RCBS, had one for years before switching to a Dillon. I reload pistol bullets as well.

I got into reloading. The Lee kit has done well.

I probably only load a couple hundred rounds a year, depending if I have a new rifle, but my Lee Aniversay Kit is still going strong after 15 years. I've used it on .270 WIN, .308 WIN, 30-30 Win, 30-06, and 260 REM. It would definately be slow for loading handgun ammo, though.

I posted the same question about a month ago and took the majority of opinions and decided on the RCBS Rockchucker. I am just starting to use mine, but love it so far!

RCBS has a great warranty! They will send you replacement parts for free just takes a phone call! I also have Lee, Redding and Lyman equipment. I have found them all to work well but RCBS seems to service the customer the best.

Anything but LEE. You tend to get what you pay for. You know if a compay doesn't think enough to warrenty their stuff past 2 years - that should tell you something.

Hornady has a quick-change feature, RCBS is a "can't really improve upon classic". I favor a turret press like Redding's (like the press - not the company) or RCBS (like the company but have the press and it is hard to mount but sweet to use).

In a single stage press, look at Lyman Crusher 2. nice press and the frame is offset and is a 4" stroke/cast iron press. I don't know if I have seen it in a "kit" though.
