Wow! After reading a few "newbie" posts, I determined to purchase an "O" press kit. I checked out the Lee Challenger Anniversary kit and the RCBS Rockchucker Master Kit at Midway and the RCBS is more expensive by a factor of 3! I'm sure there are differences. . .but the stuff looks so simple I'm wondering what the heck could cause THAT MUCH difference?! Will I be well-served by the Lee kit? From what I've read folks seem to be happy with either manufacturer's goods.
Also, I'm getting carbide dies--the heck with lube and cleaning. Do I need the separate crimp die (set of 4 dies) or will the 3-die set with a combined seater/crimp die suit me? I'm only loading .45 ACP for now. Probably won't load more than 200 rounds a month, at least to start, and I'm no world-class marksman, either.
Thanks much, folks!
