Tell your thrifty wife you wish to save money. Of course, this isn't what happens since you will eat up all the savings and more with shooting and the purchase of "thingys."
Lee makes stuff that will load very good ammo assuming you do your part. Like folks have said, if it was junk, they would be out of business. It is the best bang for your buck out there. Is it the best? No. Will it work just fine? Yes.
Get the Lee classic turret kit, an RCBS or Redding scale and measure, and go for it. (The lee auto disk measure will suffice to start, but IMHO you will outgrow it and want more versatility.)
Want to start an argument? Tell folks Lee is junk.
