If you can buy the kit. I pieced my stuff together over time, mostly closeing stores and sales. With a kit you get almost everything you need/want from one manufacturer. The one extra you will find useful is a priming tool, I use the LEE. Dies are the other thing, they are not in kits. Powder, bullets, and primers are all in short supply. If you can find anyone who already loads, it helps to watch. It is a lot of fun besides saving some money.
