I began with a Lee 50th Anniversay Breech Lock Challenger kit.

It was a good starting point, and that press is still on my bench, but right now I use exactly ONE item that came in that kit- the funnel. I've just outgrown the rest of it; the single stage press has given way to a Lee Classic Turret, the Perfect Powder Measure immediately gave way to an Auto Disk, and recently to a Lyman 1200DPS3 electronic measure and scale, and the balance beam scale has been replaced by an RCBS 1010 for ease of use and accuracy.

If I get into loading for rifle, I expect that single stage press will be put back to use, but not at the moment (I load pistol on that bench... shotshell is another game entirely).
