My Rockchucker is almost 40 years old, and has loaded many thousands of rounds, and has done a fair bit of case forming. I have no plans to ever purchase another press. However, I have never owned a kit, and I never will. I use a Chargemaster for dispensing powder, a Universal Case Prep tool for trimming and chamfering, and a Universal Priming Tool for priming. These are expensive tools, but they are quick and do an excellent job. I actually prefer Redding dies over RCBS. For lube Imperial sizing lube works great, and they also make a graphite lube for the inside of case necks. Of the people that I know that reload, they either started with a cheap LEE kit, threw away the scale, and eventually bought a cast iron press, or they started with a cast iron press, and are still using it, many years later.
