I just bought the same kit a few months ago, good choice. I like mine. I mainly reload for my 40. The Carbide dies you choose are Great.

If you're are going to buy new sets of dies, they should come with the correct shell holder for the Press.

I believe these are included in the kit. They are the Shell holders for the Autoprime toold

Also, if the large pistol primers are for the 40, trade em in for some smallies. I did the same thing, bought large ones, wrong.

These are the componets I bought.

Berry's 155gr RS bullets $13.99/250 from Cabelas
Federal Small Pistol Primers $21/1000, Not recommended in the Lee autoprime tool, go with some CCI's or Winchester's
Alliant Bullseye or Power Pistol are great 40 S&W powders
Hodgdon Clays and Longshot are great also.
Don't forget your brass, check out some auctions on here/fleabay.
Get some nice ammo storage boxes.
A set of Calipers, Dial or Digital.
After you start getting some once fired brass, a tumbler

LAST AND CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, BUY AS MANY RELOADING MANUALS AS YOU CAN AFFORD.

I recommend the Hornaday, Speer, and "The ABC's of Reloading"

I would get a LEE CLASSIC CAST press, either a single-stage or turret. They're are built a lot sturdier than any other lee presses.

Thanks for the help guys. Hopefully I will get the stuff ordered this week.
