On a budget the Lee is the way to go. I would suggest getting a higher quality scale than that Lee safety scale that comes with it. For about $30-50 you can get a better scale and not break the bank. The Lee handpriming tool with the #2 shellholder is a nice thing to have. Bullets and powder... there are so many that'll work well. for what you said you'd be hunting I'd say a 180 gr bullet as your one load for all. My 06's like 4350, 4064, H380 and I've tinkered with 748. Even though you've done this before with your buddy, I still recommend reading the manual and knowing exactly what to do. Like has been said, check out Ebay, many great deals to be had.
