RE: lee, hornady, etc. Loading kits
Lokks to me like you're pretty much headed down the right path. The Lyman manuals are an excellent source of knowledge on an all-around basis, as are the other manuals produced by the bullet manufacturers. Read them intently, and if there are things you don't understand, post questions here. All will be glad to help.
I also think you made a good move by deciding on the RCBS outfit right off the bat. You are going to save yourself money in the long run. I have used several presses over the years, and find my RCBS the best to my liking, although an old Pacific three-station press I still have is a good one too. Just learn to understand what you are doing at each operation, why you are doing it, and how it affects the process. A good manual will help immensely.
