I didn't buy a kit back when I started loading because i didn't have the money.
I bought one of the Lee Reloader presses
Po' Boy Press, Lee dippers and a set of dies. The press was about 15 bucks back then.
As soon as possible I added another set of dies,Lee hand prime tool and a pound each of WW 748 and Unique. The buddy that taught me to reload gave me primers and bullets, Brass I had already saved up.
I have no idea how many rounds that inexpensive Lee press has cranked out but it still works like a new one.
If I'm only loading 50 rounds or less I still use it. It's paid for itself many times over the 30 years or so I've had it.
I think any of the beginner kits will give you your moneys worth.
