I started with a lee kit and I still use most of it. The lee reloading book is also interesting and gives a good intro to reloading. Don't be afraid to ask questions here as there is alot of good advice available.

I too started out with the Lee aniversary kit, got mine a few years ago for under $60. Added the dies and trimmer guides for the calibers I load and off I went. Have loaded several thousand rounds with it. The powder measure is a bit cheap but works fairly good for a starter, I weigh each charge when loading for my rifles and use a trickler to get each just right. Over all I've been happy with the kit and have loaded some very accurate loads with it. MidwayUSA has them on sale right now also.

Watch out for calibrations, using when a dryer or some other form of electromagnetic's are being used that draw alot of current. My main complaint was trickling. You will be trickling a load, and it will not update fast enough. You might have 45.4gr adn need 46gr, and be trickling and it will jump way past 46. If it their clock rate for updating was faster, and aquireing was faster, wouldn't be an issue.

But a beam is mechanical and updates real time. As a person who throws big loads around 100gr, this can become a problem as you have to adjust each load. Guys using ball powders or smaller loads should have to trickle as much.

I see you're getting lots of replies to your question, with good information. Just wanted to add my two cents worth----as far as acquiring equipment, I agree the complete kits are probably the best way to go---however, if you have any gun shows in or around your area, they can be an excellent source of loading goodiesat much-reduced prices. Good luck,and hang in there.
