Actually I think I am in the minority here, I like most of Lee's products, while I agree a lot of their stuff is on the value added side, I like the turret press especially when loading pistol rounds. It handles my rifle cases fine, then again I don't reload for anything bigger than my 06 currently. The kit is definetly the way to go. I would say check out Ebay's hunting section. As far as tips and tricks, Lee Autoprime, best $25 I spent on equipment, Lee dies, some like em some don't, they work!!! Get a good scale and a powder trickler. Any way you go, after the initial investment you'll find out about other items and spend a little more here and there. The best part is when you go to the range and shoot, shoot, shoot for less than half of what it cost buying factory loads.
