I would recommend upgrading trom the auto disk measure to the pro auto disk measure.

The problem there is that the auto-disk is part of the kit offer. The kit works out the same as just the turret press alone where I live. Even if not the best, it and the other bits of that kit are essentially free if I were to try and build that kit from individual purchases.

Your going to need some calipers and some reloading trays

I agree on the trays, however, calipers I have. They are metric, but have a digital read out down to two decimal places.

When I said manual I meant a reloading manual. Oh and since you stated you are going to cast as well give the Lyman Pistol & Revolver 3rd Edition a look. It has a section dedicated to casting. As well as tons of loads listed for cast bullets, and jacketed bullets.

The ingot mold is if you have to melt the lead from scrap, or you end up with bricks of lead too big to fit into a melting pot. You can then use a pan to melt it down and pour ingots that will fit into the melting pot. The Lee ingot mold is Less than $14 US.

Well, I already have one manual and it has an article about bullet casting, but I have not read it yet, and so don't know the extent of the detail it covers. If a copy of the 3rd is easy to find that is an option, too.

If I go down the casting route, perhaps an ingot mold is worth it, then: seems it may make things tidier!
