That sounds like a great deal. You might need some other things you did not list like a powder scale and tumbler (w/media). I usaully recommend a single stage press when new to reloading but I think you can use that press model as one (single stage)
If you find out reloading is something you're really going to get into, you might want to get another single stage press for 2nd operations like decapping (if you decap before tumbling), primer pocket swaging and case forming.
Hope this was of help.
Shoot well,

The Lee progressive kits are nothing fancy but have recieved BUYworthy ratings from Gun tests Magazine in the past. Lee is not the foremost name in reloading quality, rather the foremost name in ECONOMY reloading. Their equipment ain't fancy, but it'll do for a beginner. I wouldn't take one to camp perry, but you should get at least 10,000 rounds outta the thing before the press gets sloppy.
It is true though that a single stage press is far better to learn to reload with because you learn each phase of the process intimately, and while you are learning, you are forced to handle each and every piece of brass 3 times---increasing the chances of your amateur eyes catching a piece of split brass or badly seated primer.
