I too started out with the Lee aniversary kit, got mine a few years ago for under $60. Added the dies and trimmer guides for the calibers I load and off I went. Have loaded several thousand rounds with it. The powder measure is a bit cheap but works fairly good for a starter, I weigh each charge when loading for my rifles and use a trickler to get each just right. Over all I've been happy with the kit and have loaded some very accurate loads with it. MidwayUSA has them on sale right now also.
