Jack,
check the Midway & Graf & Sons websites. Lee & RCBS, to name a couple, have "package" deals for beginners. Lee equipment is not as expensive as the other makers, but is good equipment as far as I know. I have used their reloading dies but have no experience with their presses. The most important piece of equipment is several reloading manuals. <img src="graemlins/bigok.gif" border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" />
