I never cared for my Lee press so I sold it. They work but I just didn't like it. I have an old RCBS Rock chucker and Redding T7 turret. I mainly shoot rifle so it works well for me. I don't shoot matches so I have no need for a Dillon (although I still want one).
I'd look for a used press to save money. You'll need to decide on what case prep and other accessories you want. For dies I prefer Redding but have RCBS, Lyman and Hornady. I do not like Hornady dies but that's just personal preference.
A vibratory tumbler will be the cheapest for prep. Youll need a case Trimmer for the Grendel, Lee is the least expensive I know of but I've seen some good prices on used RCBS and Lyman.
I hand prime but you can prime with your press to lower costs. You'll need some type of scale or powder measuring device too.
Finding primers and powders will be challenging right now. Pick up a loading manual but you could save money by using the online data from Hodgson, Barnes etc. Gordon's Reloading tool is free and can be useful but I'd stick to published load data until you get some experience and verify with GRT.
I like to buy the L E Wilson case length gauges for rifle rounds to check my loaded ammo. Add some plastic ammo boxes for your loaded ammo.
I'm sure you'll get plenty of more suggestions.
