I went to Bass Pro yesterday and dropped a little over $500 on reloading equipment.
I'm just getting started, and have heeded the advice of getting a single-stage press. Plus, I don't think I shoot enough to justify a progressive.
I picked up the Lyman Crusher II "Deluxe Expert Kit", Lyman "Twin Turbo" tumbler and green corn cob media, Dies, Shell Holders, Bullets, Powder....everything but the primers.
I was going to buy the Rock Chucker kit, but they were sold out. The only kits they had were a Hornady LNL Progressive, and the Lyman kit. I was sold on the Lyman, because it came with the 49th edition manual, a case trimmer, and a digital scale (which unfortunately got really poor reviews on Midway). The only thing missing from this kit is a reloading tray.
I'm not too sure how well the primer feeding devices will work...but I'll give it a shot.
I was up until about 1:30am mounting the press, getting the dies and powder measure all figured out, cleaning, de-priming, and resizing the cases that I've been collecting over the years, and just playing with, and getting familiar with all the tools.
Now, if only I could find some primers!!!
