Ditto this for the Lee Classic Turret (NOT THE DELUXE!).
As for saving money, wet shaving and reloading have a lot in common. You justify the initial investment by telling yourself that you will be saving money in the long run over buying store ammo or cartridge razors, but both are extremely addicting as far as purchasing new equipment and supplies. I originally thought I would tolerate reloading in order to be able to shoot more, then once I started doing it (after TONS of research and a helpful friend to watch over my first loads) I found the process to be enjoyable for its own sake. I can make 45, 9mm, 38 and 44 mag all for around $5/box versus insane store prices (when you can even find ammo).
Lots of good information here, but if you want even more check out The Firing Line Forums. A guy over there name Lost Sheep has tons of great advice on what you *really* need to get set up and how to avoid critical mistakes. Best of luck!
The Lee Classic Turret is what I'm looking at. Also like the Smith and Wesson forums, LOTS of good info over there! Also as all my hand guns aside from one (soon to be two) are Smith's it's also a natrual place to hang out for me!
Once again, thanks everyone for listening to me ramble, looking to purchase the Lyman 49th either this weekend or early next week. Will keep everyone updated.
