From what I've read so far, it's hard to go wrong with the RCBS rockchucker kit. I found it for around $325 online which isn't a bad price at all IMO.
What's your opinion on the rockchucker and are there other presses I should be looking at? I'm looking to keep it low cost right now.
What else am I looking to buy that isn't included in the starter kit?
Where should I start looking for components?

No you cant go wrong with the Rockchucker. I wouldnt buy the kit because you will find other things you like better so I suggest buying it piece by piece and buy what you want.
I also suggest you look at the Lee Turret Press. This is what I went with after alot of research and reading. It is a great price, no need to swap out dies, rcbs dies fit, it can be used as a progressive press as well as a single stage like the rockchucker. I also liked the ability to buy new turrets for fairly cheap so that once you got your dies set you didnt have to remove them you could just remove the whole turret.

Man, it's been a long time, but I';d think a LOT more trays.
Also, look into a decent tumbler, it'll clean he shite out of your brass and your wife's jewelry.

I have a lee single stage press. Lee catches a lot of shite but it does what it's supposed to do and is much less costly. I like their carbide die sets. I have a small lyman tumbler that is very quiet and does the job well. Don't spend extra money on special tumbling media, go to the puter store and buy lizard cage litter (ground up walnut shells).

I prefer the turret press and digital scales. frick balances and tricklers. My old man used that shite since the 70's and it took me 15 years to get fed up with it. Bought him a digital balance 5 or 6 years ago and he's loved it. Cut his time in half, which is nice since he reloads a lot for people he works with.
