If you have a Bass Pro shop around they have a pretty good deal. $299.99 for a starter kit. I bought a few other things to go with it, but it is set up ready to go. I bought a Lyman, but they had others. I bought this one because it is a turret press. I did not want to keep moving dies in and out, but rather have my 3 most typical cals loaded and accessable with just a turn of the turret. The only thing I did not like is the powder drop has a small tube. It allows me to load roughly 100 223 with one fill. I would rather have a larger one and will probably buy one soon. But check into those and see if you can get a good deal. Good luck, wife will never see you after this.
