Check Ebay, research prices for new items from sites like midwayusa or cabelas then go to ebay so that you have an idea of what is a good deal or not. Often you can pick up a kit for about half of new. To start on the cheap there is absolutely nothing wrong with Lee products. Most presses will handle magnum length cartridges I personally use a Lyman Tmag 2 turret press now but started out with a Lee autoindexing turret that I still use when loading pistol cartridges.
