    I reload for one deer rifle (6.5x55) and do it as an extension of my shooting hobby. I have not saved any money doing if but I am (pretty) confident my reloads are more accurate than factory.
    I bought a Lee anniversary reloading kit and it is fit for my purpose. There is everything in the Lee kit you need to get going and if you look at the list from @Magnetite minus the comments from @mimms2 you pretty much have the Lee kit. The Lee kit has a manual and a quick start guide too.

    I have added a set of digital calipers and the thingy to measure OAL from the olgive as well as a neck resizing die.
    Using the Lee power thrower and scales is a slow process but I can get accuracy down to single grains (individual powder pieces, not grains of weight) of powder and I only reload for one rifle so I don't care.
    I do spend a lot of time f***ing around when I seat my projectile to ensure the OAL is exactly what I want and I suspect a higher quality press might help here but again, one rifle, hobby, I enjoy it.

    The Lee is not to everyone's taste and is a "less expensive" set when compared to others but it is fit for my purpose, it might be fit for yours

    Cheers
