Don't forget the accessories

You should also get:

Manual or two.

Scale to keep your loads certain and safe

Calipers to verify your cartridges' and components' dimensions

Loading block to keep your cases from tipping over

Notebook to keep things organized

Case lube to ease the loading process and keep the brass from sticking in the dies

A set of Lee Dippers (or make a few of your own) to make meting powder convenient.

A powder trickler for the convenience of bringing powder charges up to weight. A trickler can be had for $20 or you can make a hand-held one out of any good-sized bottlenecked cartridge.

When you decide to upgrade your press to a bench-mounted press, all these other accessories will be handy, so don't scrimp.

Just off the top of my head.
