I have not alot to spend so to that end I was considering the Lee Anniversary kit as a possible starting point.
Does anyone have any experience with this setup and is it a good way to get started with the basics.
I realize I will also need dies etc to suit whatever caliber and some handbooks for practical info as well and will need to add those to the bill as well as the powders, primers etc hence not wanting to spend any more than is necessary on the tools or it will end up costing more than I can afford.
Any input or suggestions would be appreciated....

First thing to buy is a decent reloading manual there is some one listing the ABC's of reloading on trade Me That would be as good as any, I have a copy that is forty years old
very good read, Read that or some other manual before looking at reloading tools, Most component manufactures of Bullets & powder have reloading Data online, But a how to reload
manual is gold for a beginning reloader, Most people have their favourite methods for reloading but unless you start with the basic loading techniques you can get lost in the maze and if you have
not got the basics down pat you have no where to go back to when it goes tits up, So get a manual and read it several times.
