[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1236993, member: 3099"] Well if you buy ALLLL the goodies to make your caliber changeovers ultra fast like I do it works out pretty close to the same. There was another thread asking about this the other day. I buy for each caliber: Powder metering insert (about $9) Quick change powder die (about $23) 5 LNL bushings (you can get these in a 10 pack) Shell plate Hornady dies (I really like the seating die and you can keep your powder insert in the die box and also the crimp die) Hornady Taper Crimp die (a lot of people like the Lees and they work in the LNL press w/EZ-Ject) You don't have to have all this stuff, but man the changeovers are super fast. I will say this. I have the powder cop die and a couple of calibers set up for powder thru expansion. They don't work worth a crap for lead or plated bullets. You can't get enough bell on the case to not shave the bullet when seating. That setup is the shiznit for jacketed bullets though. I pretty much load cast bullets so all I use the powder cop die for is .223. [/QUOTE]
