I got a cheap Lee Anniv. kit.So would you if the difference in price was $499 vs $135
. I upgraded to a Ohaus 5-0-5 scale,mine is RCBS green and a Lee Classic press. I think the press is much better than my buddy's RockChucker,so does he for that matter.
You'll need a caliper,the electronic ones are cheaper than the dial.Don't bother with a reloading company one,same chinese stuff at 3x$.
Skip the lube pad and use Imperial Sizing wax or Lee white stuff or Hornady One Shot.
