    If you want to reload 357 then you are welcome to use my stuff before comitting to buy anything.
    I also have dies for 300wsm, 6.5saum, 223 (i think) and 300norma mag.

    Well if you can't have a chuckle with friends @outlander why bother getting out of bed eh ?
    And I'm sure had we been able to ride together mate we would have had alot of fun ( assuming you could have kept up that is )

    I'm all good for 357 at mo thanks @mikee but I would certainly be interested to watch next time you load anything up if that's a possibility.

    Keep up! I'm suspected of suffering from Mazephobia (sounds of Ftx325 shuffling pages of his dictionary). I'd be diving in on the inside of ya, knee down and laying rubber on my Triumph Cub 200.

    Now that's a machine I haven't seen in a long time. Be rare as rocking horse poo nowadays. I did have a brief flirtation with a 3ta though , although it had had the "bathtub" removed before I owned it. Another rare puppy nowadays.

    So after some advice on starter kits to get me going.
    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....
    just grab what ever to get started, some awesome forum members might help out with surplus gear at good rates. then build up with good stuff later. any lyman gear is good rcbs is excellent. i dont own lee dies so cant comment on them all my dies are rcbs or hornady.

    If its a curiosity then maybe follow the advice of picking up bits as you go, if like me you just know the OCD in you will bind you to it just buy a full kit and get into it. Even with a full kit you'll find yourself continually adding different bits to your table, that cant be helped and you wont know some of the items until you need them. A kit with an electronic dispenser would be my advice, I went with a Lyman setup with the Gen6 dispenser.
    You've already had a lot of good advice so take the relevant bits and have fun.
