How much for a set up like this?

Turrett press is Ok for bulk loading of pistol ammo where accuracy comes second to volume. Loading rifle cases look toward accuracy rather than volume. A beginers RCBS set up, press, dies, powder scale, primer tool, case lube, powder dispenser, ertc will set you back £700 or so I would guess. It cost me over £400 when I started reloading in the early 1990s.

Think my rcbs rock chucker kit was about £300 then you need dies something to measure with and something to clean brass but about £400 you could be up and running with something decent. Or you could take advice off here and with a hammer and a lee thingy you could knock up rounds that will go bang but the idea of them being more accurate than factory is a little far fetched when it seems cleaning brass and measuring anything doesn't happen

I reload with this Lee kit. £100.00 plus about £30 for the dies in your choice of caliber.

Add on another £80.00 or so for a micrometer, powder trickler etc. An old cordless drill will come in handy for speeding up case length trimming, primer pocket reaming and case polishing.

You don't really need a turret press unless you want to churn out 100 9mm rounds an hour (oh, the good old days).

Theres nothing wrong at all with this kit :good: and as always Lee do offer value for money and an affordable way of starting to reload. Obviously not up to the quality of say RCBS but hey look at the price. At the end of the day if you're just wanting to knock a few rounds out for field work and not shooting the amounts you would on the range, a single stage press is fine.

A good starter kit that won't break the bank :yes:
