Lee Breech Lock Hand Press Kit: $42 (wait for it to go on sale for $35 or so)
RCBS dies: $46 (again, wait for a sale price around $38-40)
OR
Lee dies: $30 (don't wait for a sale price, it may take years)

Buy a cheap scale, or give the Lee dippers a try ($7).
The Lee Safety Scale is cheap ($24), but is incredibly sensitive. Contrary to what you may think that actually makes it harder to use.

Buy a reloading manual for the brand of bullets you plan to use, or compromise and buy the Lee manual ($13). (You must buy the Lee manual, if you decide to try the dippers without a scale.)

With the hand press and any of those choices, you can pack it all up in a small tote for storage.
