[QUOTE="J-B welder, post: 2074045, member: 115997"] Are YOU being serious? I just went to MidwayUSA and took a quick look at tumblers, and they start around $60. A basic SET of dies can be had for a little more than half that. In both cases the prices go up from there. I'm sure one could find both cheaper from other sources, but that's a rough price comparison from the same source. I am very fastidious about cleaning each piece of brass by hand so that I can inspect every case for splits, cracks, bulges, etc. I'm not loading hundreds of rounds at a clip. At this point I'm doing less than 20 in a batch, working slowly to safely develop my first loads. I'm going to assume you meant your comment in the friendliest sense with the best intentions of trying to help me be a safe hand loader, in which case thank you for your concern. [/QUOTE]
