yep i started with lee products too just needed somewhere to start especially at the time my budget was quite limited. But over time Ive switched to Hornady progressive presses I have a Lock-N-Load AP press and recently just a bought a 366 progressive 12 gauge press. I still buy and use lee die sets I dont know why but I do like them the best over other dies, i also do have a couple sets of rcbs die sets. Last year i did buy a lee classic cast press it is deffinately a first class cast iron press it produces some very uniform ammo.

IMO the lee powder measure throws the most consistent loads I tend to prefer it over my hornady L-N-L powder measure though I do use both about the same. My Lee challenger press has found its permanent purpose of resizing pistol brass.

Though you might start out with lee products, you will likely become more serious about reloading and find the need for better stuff but as you progress you will still find uses for the lee stuff so in honesty lee products arent really a waste of money to start out with, as many seem to insenuate. Also if you arent sure how serious you might become about reloading Lee is deffinately the most econmical way to get into it in the event you decide you dont want to do it anymore atleast with the lee products you wont be out tomuch hard earned cash.

When I started reloading with lee products I was only in it about 200 bucks and was loading for 4 calibers and producing decent ammo. Now Im probably in it about 2 grand worth of equipment though im making ammo faster the quality is about the same as loading away on the old challenger single stage press. I take alot more time with my rifle cartridges, ive actually got slower with the rifle caliber reloading but im turning out some seriously @n@l retentive quality handloads loads. good luck
