This kit for less than $120 is about as cheap as you can go & has all you need to begin........press is fine for what you're wanting to do, powder measure & the scale, while not top shelf, will do until you want to step up & everything else is serviceable for starters.

You can use light(er)weight bullets to double check your scale.....like lighter .243 bullets, it will be close enough.

Buy any additional accessories as you want/need them.
