I recently bought the Hornady Lock-n-Load kit, as I got a great deal on it via an online seller. The press itself is great, but they all do the same thing, really - RCBS, Lee, Hornady - a single stage entry-level press is what it is.
I've moved to a Frankford Arsenal hand-held priming tool, as the one in the Hornady kit was pretty much junk.

I was not a fan of the idea of loading powders through the press, so I bought the "Light" version of JEB's RCBS Chargemaster and I love it. It's very precise and I'm figuring out how to move through the process doing other things while the dispenser weighs out the loads.

I'm using Lee Carbide dies for my 357 loads and I bought a universal decapper for removing old primers. The Lee die set includes the factory crimp die that is highly recommended for tube-fed lever actions.
Case cleaning is via the wet method using a rock tumbler and stainless steel pins, Dawn dishwashing detergent, lemon juice and water. See YouTube.
MrEd was kind enough to lead me to a great deal on a set of Forster Bench Rest dies for my 30-30 loadings, but I've not started on that caliber yet. I also purchased a Lee Factory Crimp die for the 30-30 round.
Case trimmers is a whole other story that I'll leave for another time.
My lesson, I guess, is the "kits" come with some great things that you'll use and probably some things that you'll decide to replace or upgrade.
