I started with the Lee Anniv. about $90 or so total from my local Sportsman Warehouse. $30 or so for RCBS carbide .44 dies. Assorted costs for brass, powder, etc.

Have loaded close to 2000 so far on it and still love it. One thing I think I would enjoy more is a ram that "feels" a bit more meaty. The Lee works, but just throwing the RCBS ones make my day.

If you can afford it, go with the RCBS starting kit ~$270 or so for equipment that will most likely outlive you.

Turret presses are another good thing as well.
