My next question is, Do I actually USE this set? The tool (hand press) is Aluminum the rest is steel.

No, not at all. But the thing is you
COULD!
If it were me I definitely WOULD! Why? Because it's a prime example of how our forefathers did things. Kind of a nostalgia thing. That tool flat out works! Clumsy and slow, it will still make shootable rounds. The only thing I did not see in that kit is some sort of bullet lube. If you were to use it, then get a bottle of the Lee liquid alox lube.
You don't say whether you load for other calibers, but if you have a scale, you could determine what powder charge that dipper throws. The instructions probably tell you, but it's age means the powder they specify may not be made anymore. I'd look up loads using H- OR IMR-4895, then see if that dipper is close to the load using 4895.
Oh, and is that carbine 303 brit, or 30-06?
