Good Afternoon!

So at the risk of sounding like a complete idiot I'm somewhat of a newb when it comes to reloading. I remember my Dad having all the stuff setup on a bench out back when I was still living at home, and he has started me with some good advice so far. I do not yet have a place to put any of this as my wife and I are currently buying a home, so here I am trying to find the best bang for the buck to get started.

I like the Hornady Lock and Load kit. That being said it's $300 and change. RCBS also has a good starter kit for $250+. While perusing the various online sites and stores for reloading equipment I came across the Lee Breech Lock Challenger Kit that I was shocked to see was only $120~ at the various outlets. Has anybody had experience with this kit? If it is just a cheap junk piece then I won't waste my money, but I am trying to get started and it this will get me reloading safely, even if it requires more work, then I would look at getting this to start.

I did read the beginners guide at the top and this seems to meet the needs.

Thanks,

Skitt
