    Don't suppose you'd want to mess with mailing it if I cover shipping?

      Next question, Looking at Lee, looks like a classic 4 hole turret press is cheaper than the classic single stage. Should I grab a turret if I can find one? or should I stick to looking for a single stage for now?

      What else (product wise) should I be looking for besides the press? recommend a scale, and powder measure? brand of dies matter at all?

          You have three single stage presses for sale?
          or three different die sets for sale?

              If there are any groups or people in your are that reload, it would really beneficial for you to "sit in" on a few sessions and see as many different tools and ways to accomplish tasks. It's really difficult to just go out and buy a bunch of reloading gear when you haven't had a chance to figure out which tools work best for you. In the long run you will save money by not buying things that you wind up replacing after you find something you like better. What works great for me, may not be a best choice for someone else.

                  I agree. I don't honestly know if I can afford to even get started at the moment. Gotta be wise with my income during this time. But I got a lot of downtime, and so trying to figure out if it's something I can ease into, and expand on later. Hopefully learn a little with all this downtime

                        I'm just going to jump in here and leave a comment. Located in Orange County California and interested in getting started reloading too. How do I find out if there's a reload club nearby?

                              I have had good luck on Ebay and Amazon.

                                Hold out for the classic, which I use far more than my progressive.
