I started with a LEE kit. definitely not the very best, (I recommend a different scale) but I actually prefer LEE Dies over others costing many times there price. (yes,, I have used others) If used properly, They will create ammo to shoot with the best. Why pay more if you don't have to. LEE products are a tremendous value! Don't let the low price scare you into spending more then you have to. If you are shooting seriously in nation matches, then by all means try some high end dies, but I will stick with what works for me. I can out-shoot a $6000 custom rifle, (yes, he is an awesome shot, and loads with custom made dies) with an out of the box savage, and lots of load development. That's enough for me.
