The scale will work fine to get you started. I just started reloading about 2 months ago and have found that you can make reloading as simple or as complicated as you want, and the same goes with the equipment and the costs that go with it. One thing that I highly recommend though that i didnt see in your list is a trickler. It really speeds up the powder measuring process and also helps to keep your powder from making a mess and getting on your fingers (which have a tendency to get into your eyes). I really do not think that mossy3oak meant any disrespect towards you or meant to insult you in any way. But if I where in your shoes, and I acually am, I would just get the Lee kit and use it until I can find a need for something better.
