Looking at trying my hand at a new 6mmBR, and looking for a budget set of dies. I want something affordable as I am in no way going to compete internationally, but still have decent results. If that means anything, my whole setup is LEE, and if they made a set, I would have bought it instinctually whitout question. So, is the Hornady offering a good buy?

I would consider the Forster dies . Good dies for the money .

I would look at the Forster bushing sizing die 070-BBK2301 and the Forster Micrometer seating die 070-U00037
Micrometer Seater Die
Pre-Selected Bushings
070-BBK2301
070-U00037

It seems like this is more expensive but after you figure in the cost of the bushings it's really not much more.
I was going to suggest the bushing die also but budget and the fact he was not going to compete steered me away from that .
