looking for a reloading kit.....

I was refering to the Lee not saying its not a good press. I would put a little more money with it and get something stronger but its up to you. I have reloaders that are well over 20 years old and you can pick these up in yard sales and gun shows pretty cheap. I have the Lyman Turrets and several Pacifics I paid $75 and under.
 
i just got into reloading about 6 months ago and purchased the rcbs supreme kit ($275 at walmart) best price i could find. just recently upgraded to a chargemaster 1500 scale n dispenser combo and a hornady case prep center and love them both. i liked the hornady center better than others because its the only one that does the case trimming too. but for starting out the rcbs supreme kit cant be beat IMO

I'll second that. I've had very good luck with Lee reloading stuff. It performs very well and I find it a much better value than the other brands.
I have used most of the major brands over the years and they are ALL good,I bought a Lee progressive Turret press last Dec. set it up and have been crankin out the .223's, I am very impressed with this reloader,rounds are VERY accurate and feed through my bushmaster with out a flaw. Go to FS reloading and check it out,spend a little bit of that money on your reloader set up and the rest on bullets,primers and powder. With extra turrets set up you can change calibers and be loading in seconds.Lee makes GOOD equipment imo.

I use Hornady reloading equipment (press and powder measure). I have a Lee hand primer, various load blocks, use Hornady one shot case lube, RCBS Chargemaster for when I'm loading stick powder, and a Gracey Case trimmer (which trims,chamfers and deburs all at the same time..uber sweet for doing large batches of brass!!), and hornady, rcbs and redding dies.

I guess what I'm getting at and others have said as well, the kits will get you going, but more than likely you will end up with a hodge podge of equipment. You wont necessarily go wrong with any one manufacturers kit, but you may be better served by buying individual components.

ps. The Hornady Lock and Load bushing set up is awesome!! I have several dies pre-set in bushings and changing calibers is as fast as taking off one die and putting another in my press. It's fast and zero hassles.
