Jim, I know that it seems like a lot of change to part with, but hey you'll eventually buy a Dillon anyway. It isn't a bad decision to start a little more inexpensive, and if you don't stick with reloading you're not out as much. If your mind is set on going a bit cheaper the Lee is the way to go. If you go Hornady or RCBS, the quality may be a bit better, but you'll spend as much as a Dillon. Look at the Lee Loadmaster.

Don't forget a scale. You might feel more comfortable with a powder check die since the loadmaster had a fifth die station.

Yes, I know the Loadmaster is almost $100 more than the pro 1000.

Simple. Remodel the garage into a work room. ;)

It's so easy, and a lot of fun to spend other peoples money.

Don't worry about it, just put a light coat of oil on them. All of my stuff
is in my garage and rust is not an issue.

Enjoy.

Kind Regards,

Tom

Like Tom said, a light coat of oil should work just fine, but I believe the press is entirely made of aluminum. However I would oil it anyway.
