Yeah its my frist one I have a friend that is telling me to get a dillion 550b but I am not sure if I want to spend that much yet. Can I use rcbs dies in a lee press? I would just be reloading for my glock .40 my roger 38 and my remington 30-06.
These are the two Lee presses i am looking at.

Lee Challenger Breech Lock Single Stage Press Anniversary Kit
and
Lee Challenger Breech Lock Single Stage Press Kit
This is the kit i am going to get. Can any one tell me what else i need to buy with it.
I add a Lee Case Length Gage for my .40 s&w and primers. any thing else.

This kit has just about everything needed to get started reloading. The "O" frame design creates a sturdy press for years and years of reloading. The quick change function allows standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies to be changed with the twist of a wrist. The press is made from ASTM 380 Aluminum, has 3-offset mounting holes, a 3-1/2" ram stroke and can handle cartridge lengths from the short 0.905" 25 ACP to the long 3.750" 460 Weatherby
