[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 908770, member: 423"] I'd go for the Lee Turret Kit, your first link. Yes it requires more purchases, but all presses do, you have to buy dies. What calibers are you reloading for? I'll price out two. Say 9mm and .30-30. If you're doing pistol calibers and using the included Lee Auto-Disk, then make sure you buy Lee pistol dies, or buy the Lee Powder thru Expander die if you buy a different brand. Here's what you need Press - [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=622290"]Lee Turret Deluxe Kit[/URL] - $110 Tumbler - [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=158440"]Lyman Turbo 1200 Pro[/URL] - $52 Loading Block - [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=767946"]Lyman 50 rd Universal[/URL] - $5 Powder Funnel - [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=974498"]Lee Funnel[/URL] - $2.50 Dies - [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=885350"]9mm Lee Carbide 4 die set[/URL] - $32.50 - includes shellholder For each additional caliber: Extra Toolhead (turret) - [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=292460"]Lee 4 Hole Turret[/URL] - $9 Dies - [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=342319"]Lee Deluxe 3 die set[/URL] - $29 Crimp Die (if wanted) - [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=492510"]Lee Fact Crimp[/URL] - $10 Total for two calibers: $200 You'll also need case lube for any non carbide dies, and media for the tumbler.
