Do you have any suggestions for buying a kit the is cast steel and a turret press as well?
I do not know of any. Lee doesn't put together a "kit" with the Classic Cast Turret.
I can tell you what Lee equipment you need, to put together your own "kit".
I suggest you read the suggested reloading manuals. Just keep in mind that these manuals are put together by magazines that need to keep advertisers happy, or they could be written by authors that have self-interest in mind. Bottom line is you have to absorb the information and make an intelligent decision based on your budget, time and needs.
I have used different brands of reloading equipment and they all work to a lesser or greater degree. There are qualities that are hard to quantify, like better "feel" when operating the press lever, "smoothness" in operation, ease of set-up and maintenance.
The only thing that is clear is price/cost and the hourly production (rounds per hour).
You can of course read the countless threads in this forum and probably end up more confused. There is the perennial Dillon-Lee-Hornady progressives battle, or the single stage vs. turret vs. progressive comparatives et al.
IMO there are basic pcs of equipment you need to reload well, regardless of the type of press you buy.
1. powder scale
2. case tumbler if you want clean shiney brass
3. bullet puller
Then you need to identify which type of press, meaning single stage, turret or progressive. I say type because there are different brands and models for each type. They all have quirks, some have more or less than others, but none are perfect.
You have seen single stage presses and a couple of turrets. But the progressives are where the serious fun begins....more models specially from Dillon which have the Square Deal B, 550B, 650 and 1000 plus all the accessories you can get for them. Lee has the Pro-1000 and the Loadmaster, Hornady has the LNL. There are others too but I am not familiar with them.
But aside from the Dillon Square Deal B or the Lee Pro-1000 and Loadmaster, most of the progressives require a substantial cash investment.
In the end, you need to decide based on your budget, time and ammo production needs.
There is a lot of info, specially for beginners, to absorb.
Then you have to think reloading supplies as ACRASHB mentioned. Can you easily find brass, primers, powders and bullets in your area, or are you willing to mail order them?
