Thanks I tried to distract myself, but I woke up this morning thinking about reloading :? ....and if I ever did start I'd like a Lee pretty much exactly as you now have...
The hold back I have is I don't believe I shoot enough pistol to make it worth the setup cost and I'm not serious enough about rifle accuracy/precision to be bothered developing loads and such. Well, this is what I tell myself :?

The setup will pay for itself if you spend more than 400 a year on pistol ammo, and because your ammo cost becomes so low over time, you shoot more.

There is no way I could shoot half as much as I do if I had to buy ammo all the time.

Some people never reload more than the most common pistol load they shoot and never venture into rifle(not many, but some)

I'm currently reloading for two calibers, and perhaps two more within the near future. Already doing 7x57 & .30-06... looking for .50-70 dies...

Figuring I can load them for less than $10 a box, and it costs $20/20 for the cheap stuff, I've already made up the savings in a couple hundred rounds. Especially if you're like me and you start loading obsolete ammunition... :)
