If the Classic Turret was one of your choices I would have voted for that. Of the kits on your list, the 50th Anniversary Breech Lock Challenger kit is the best way to go IMO.
Sorry, I missed where RCBS was a choice...

RCBS is great equipment, but for beginers without alot of funds, it would be a poor choice!
Go with the aniversary pack!
I started with a progressive press and I was well over my head for a while.
A single stage would be the best way to start, and upgrade from there!
Another vote for the Aniversary Kit. I think MidwayUSA.com has them on sale.

Lee 50th Anniversary Breech Lock Challenger Kit-$105

i paid - $330
so what do u think??
Congrats great choice, Way to bargain shop
Good job! One important thing I dont see listed is a scale (Midway has a diggi for 30-40). What gun are you shooting the lead through? I have read that Bullseye powder and lead bullets smoke a little when shooting. I just started reloading myself and got the lee loadmaster set up for .40, bullet puller, and 500 plated bullets and diggi for $350. Have you gotten any primers yet? They are the hardest thing to find right now. Good luck.
Thanks for starting this thread bigo5552000...I had the same questions as you. Thanks for all the info guys it is appreciated.
With a loading block or two and a decent caliper you are all set to go.
