My dad has been talking about buying the dies for other people to reload ammo for him. He is retired now and I have been wanting to get him a nice retirement gift. This past week I was over at his place bear hunting all week and got lucky on Friday. Two years ago he paid to have a shoulder mount done for me and my little brother, who also killed his first bear the same year, so I didn't want anything done with the hide and thought someone could use it to train their dogs. As he was skinning it he kept commenting on what a nice coat it had, that I may never see one that nice again, and he was going to pay to have a rug done. As soon as we were done we were on our way to the taxidermist to have a rug made, for $1000. Holy crap!
I want to get him everything he needs to get started reloading his own ammo. I was looking at the following kit.

It seems to have everything except the dies and casing holders for specific calibers. Reviews are pretty good, except for a few minor issues like primer extraction. Some say that one company makes a better scale, one makes a better primer tool, etc... I could piece together a kit based on those individual reviews, but I would prefer to get an all-in-one kit.
Any advise would be appreciated. Thank you.
