The deluxe kit seems to have some items that you may need eventually. Add up the items and see if you can get them cheaper if purchased separately,

I use the Hornady lock and load AP and love it especially for high volume plinking rounds. I still use the OLD single stage for things like the 45/70 where I am only doing 20 or so at a time, I also use it for re-sizing rifle brass although I don't have too it makes the whole process easier for me.

Oh and I love the Hornady colett set up it makes changing dies easy as pie.

Just used a Lee Breechlock O-Press. Probably similar to the Hornady. Set your dies, screw into a threaded collet, push a button and drop it into the press. Running up some loads for my 25-06 made me long for a standalone priming tool. The RCBS one for $60 looks good, plus they have a $10 rebate...

Yep pretty close to the same set up DT, you set them then lock them down on the quarter turn coletts.
