I just bought a Lee Turret 4-holer Deluxe, hand primer, Calipers, Lee manual, and Dies for $167.00 (including shipping) from Grafs. After tons of reading online (and the manual) I was "makin' bullets" in no time. All I need now is a tumbler.

I shoot about 300 to 400 rounds of .40 cal a month. This press will meet my needs nicely. IOW, I will be able to shoot 450-600 rounds a month for the same price.

The local Harbor Freight is getting $ 20.00 rock tumblers in on Friday. I'll be waiting in line.
