I ordered a Lee 50th anniversary kit and .40 dies for $140 to my door from Cabelas. I can't wait to start reloading. Next I will get 9mm .45 and 30-06 dies. I think it is a pretty good deal. :bang

    Nice.  I've got a little Lee hand loader and it's great for 9mm Parabellum.
    I don't have a powder measure but I weigh my charges.
    Looks like a good kit.

    Get AT LEAST 3 current reloading manuals, along with a book titled "The ABCs of Reloading".  Read them all before you set your press up.  You'll be miles ahead in the game that way.

    Also- A good chrongraph is highly desireable, they start at about 150 for a good one.  Get a model with a remote display head.

    So what made you choose the Lee?  I've always been stuck on the Dillon reloaders.  Then again, they were the first ones I saw and they seemed to make sense.  But when you say $140, that grabs my attention, as the Dillon I want will run me closer to $800 with all of the gizmos.

    The Lee might still be cheaper, but there are a lot of gizmos that don't come with it. My kit had the press, a scale, one set of dies, and one or two other components. Nowhere near enough for even basic reloading.

    That reminds me, I gotta get that stuff set up. I probably need to re-read the ABC's again, since it's been a while since I read it.
