The amount of powder depends on what powder you use and what bullet/caliber you are loading. I would suggest doing a lot of research, look around on www.leeprecision.com and some of the other manufacturers websites. Or go to you local library and see if they have a reloading manual. I know on www.hodgdon.com ther are many load recipes. On www.midwayusa.com they have all major brands of presses and kits. the one Lee single stage kit I think its the challenger is really good priced. You shouldnt have any problems with it. I would suggest getting carbide dies and use Hornady One Shot case lube for depriming and resizing. I set up all my brass in a loading block after its tumbled and spray the cases wait a minute and start running them thru the press. The Lee hand priming tool is sweet to, you can prime tons of brass in no time
