Thanks for the write up. Now I really want one!!! If it weren't for 2 family weddings, my sons 18th birthday and graduation, I'd order one. Maybe Christmas.

Hah, I wish. She's got eagle vision when it comes to our bank account. Notice I said "our bank account"? Not plural, singular.

I'll get it when the time is right. Family first, always has been, always will be.

2k+ rounds! How long till it has paid for itself? All my single stage equipment paid for itself a long time ago. I love cranking out boxes of home cast bullets in reloaded brass. Pay for the powder and primer and you got boxes!

I put my primers on the back side of a square piece of a carpet tile. I load all the shiny ones then take another square and place it on top. Flip the whole deal over then proceed to load all the rest that are now shiny side up.

Well i can load 100 rounds for about $20 and going rate for wwb of 100 is $45 so at 25 saved per 100 so far saved $500 ish if math is correct but when you reload you dont save cuz you shoot way more. Its a good thing though

I got one of them tbere fancy flip trays. Works good.

FYI just did the math and you save about 227$ per thousand. So i would have to load up 5200 rounds to break even. Well i am already ahead being my dad bought the actual press i am already about even for my out of pocket. This only if you dont buy rounds in bulk then the number would be about 60% of that number.
