I saw that one too but am getting confused. So I get the press, the dies and the shell holders. Is the only other thing I need a set of scales and obviously the consumables?

yes scales and lee dies also the lee auto disc thrower works good on that press the thrower that come with it is better for larger cases eg rifle but a good buy , just use manual advance first rather than auto advance and dont fiddle with the auto cams till you know what your doing haha

Just read the add and see he has a lyman spartan press , even better for as new to the game just one action at a time repeating eg 200 times then rotate head for next stage still lee dies and get auto disc thrower ,. I see it has primer arms as well which will get you going till you get a hand primer setup again lee is ok but need special shell holders about 50 per set . you can leave set up with all dies adjusted just cover with a cloth or plastic bag.

Mate, honestly, if you're still confused at this point best thing you can do is sit and watch a string of YouTube vids on basic reloading. Heaps of them out there. Watch a few and you'll know as much as anyone lol, at least for getting going.

That's a very old Lee.Pro 1000. It will likely drive a beginner batshit crazy. Good to avoid unless you're very technical and mechanically minded and love a challenge.

Dillon if you can afford it..................if its not blue its poo

You have a hard time beating a Dillon if you need a pile of ammo in a hurry, I just recently bought a Lyman 38/357 die set it is one of the nicest finished sets I have seen and loads excellent ammo,
if anyone it interested, I can source Lyman reloading tools at good prices,
