Dont be discouraged by some comments on here, fact is You wont go wrong with buying and using ANY Lee reloading equipment.

The Lee Anniversary Kit is a wounderful place to start you reloading career.

That said I have to agree the scales arn't the "Best" but they are "OK".

You will hear people saying the Lee reloading equipment is substandard and wont last.... When this is plainly incorrect.
I own and use Lee reloading presses and dies that are older than most on this forum and are still going strong.
I also own very expensive susposidly better/more accurate reloading presses, The irony of this is the Lee ones tend to get more use.

Any manufacturer that sells substandard gear will not survive in business very long.

Lee Precision has not only survived, but is an innovator and market leader in this field.

I have owned and used Lee Reloading Equipment for over 30 years now and can tell you this from experience, not just from regurgitating what other have said.

Lee gear is great to start with because of its lower cost base.
And like everything in life, if you look after it, it will last a lifetime, abuse it and it will break tomorrow.

Welcome to the wounderfull world of Reloading.

Beg, Buy or Borrow a good Relaoding Manual before you purchase anything.
Learn how to Safely Reload and remember ...................

First comes Fascination followed quickly by Addiction.

I've just started reloading this year so by no means experienced but I currently use a mates lee anniversary reloading kit and it's good as gold. He did buy some hornady electronic scales though and whilst quick, I still recheck my loads 2/3 times with it just to make sure as they do fly out a wee bit. The chamfer tool from lee is mud, but everything else is pretty good. As everyone says - it is addictive!! I'm as slow as slow could be. but that doesn't bother me as I make sure my loads are spot on and Ifind it's actually quite relaxing for some reason. lol I reload for one caliber so it's not really cost effective but I get to use different pills that aren't otherwise factory
