Midway lists the .303 Lee Loader as a current (though backordered) product. http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpag...eitemid=117962

For someone dirt poor (I can relate) that sounds like the best way to go. Get that first, because you'll need to look at their documentation sheet to find allowable powder and bullet combinations (you measure powder with their dipper, so you have basically no flexibility and few choices). Then get powder, primers, brass and bullets. And a rubber mallet.

You'll be able to load up a single cartridge in about a minutes time.

Next step up is a Lee Hand Press, plus die set, for ~$60.
