you can get the Hornady L-N-L AP with case feeder and bullet feeder for right at 1000.00. However you are going to be buying the 3 parts. Press , case and bullet from different sources, most likely, so your a couple of hundred or less for shipping. So shop around.
Hornady has the whole setup for 1400.00

It seems to be easy to stay below that budget unless I have misread your post.

Check the math yourself, but I think you can get a Lee Loadmaster and a case collator with dies for under $250-$300. Add a bullet feed die and your specifications are probably met.

Hornady L'n'L base unit is $416 at the above link.

I think you might be able to stay below $1,000 even with a Dillon 650, case feeder and bullet feed.

Basic machine is $570. Add the case feeder and bullet feeder and you should be around $1,000 by my calculation.

$1,000 seems to me to be pretty generous. I haven't really shopped around for a progressive seriously, the links I found are those. Markdozier, am I off base here?

Welcome to the forum and thanks for asking our advice.

I suggest you do some more research before you settle on your budget.

Let me share with you some posts and threads I think you will enjoy. So get a large mug of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, whatever you keep on hand when you read and think and read through these.

The "sticky" thread at the top of TheFiringLine's reloading forum is good, entitled, "For the New Reloader: Equipment Basics -- READ THIS FIRST "

The "sticky" thread at the top of TheHighRoad.com's reloading forum is good, entitled, "For the New Reloader: Thinking about Reloading; Equipment Basics -- READ THIS FIRST"
http://thehighroad.org//showthread.php?t=238214

and this one, titled "Interested in reloading"
http://rugerforum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=13543

My post 11 is entitled "Here's my reloading setup, which I think you might want to model" November 21, 2010)
My post 13 is "10 Advices for the novice handloader" November 21, 2010)

Good luck

Sure you can get in under that budget. Just depends on how well you want it to work. A pretty big step up from the Lee is the LNL "ammo plant" dealer cost is $825, find somone that will only mark it up $175 after tax and you'll hit your budget.

I was at Cabela's today and saw the ammo plant kit, they had it for $1150. If you can get it at retail for that price you should be able to find it online for less.
