RE: lee, hornady, etc. Loading kits
IMO the RCBS Master kit is the ticket. I bought mine 15 yrs ago, have loaded thousands of rounds on it, and have never had an issue with any of the components. Everything you need except a set of dies and calipers to get started.
That being said, I would still look at the Hornady Lock & Load Classic. Higher retail price but with the free bullet offer they have it may really be the deal. Quality between Hornady and RCBS would be a toss up and probably come down to whether you wanted green or red. I also like Hornady dies which also have a free bullet offer. I just bought a $29 set of 7mm and got $25 worth of .44 bullets free.
In addition to the manuals you already have ordered, your local gun shop should have free reloading pamphlets from the various powder manufacturers. Hodgdon also produces a Reloading Annual magazine that is worth the time. Read all you can. Multiple manuals shouldn't confuse you. Actually they should help you form a general consensus.
Bottom line, don't buy something cheap "to get by until you can afford better". Buy quality now and you won't have to replace.
