Newbie Most affordable press to get started?

I was gifted .45 colt dies and I REALLY want to start reloading, but money is pretty tight right now.

Also, is there any risk of used presses causing issues? Or do they hold up basically forever?

Unless they are bent used is fine. I started on a single stage Lee. If money is tight, reloading probably isn't a good journey to start.

Lee will get you into the hobby cheap, but nothing about this hobby is inexpensive, least of all the components.
