[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2841564, member: 116439"] Yes and then you need all the extras. Die Plates, Dies, Powder Drop if it didn't come with a good one. It should have a primer already and the depending on how may stations it has you should get a Powder Checker to make sure that you got a full case of powder. If you get a "Short" load you may end up with a "Squib" in the barrel and the next cartridge would be a disaster. Especially with an AR or semi auto. The loader has to be "Timed" so everything works at the same time. Don't look at the cost so much as what it can do. "BUY ONCE CRY ONCE" At the time we bought a RCBS PRO 2000. Worked great for pistol loading. In hind sight wish we put another $1K into the Blue -Dillon with more options. Our Pro 2000 still works great once set up. Can really crank out the loaded cartridges. The "BLUE" Dillon has many extra features for loading both pistol and rifle. Really figur out how much you are going to shoot and then compare to the cost $$$ of the Press and then costs of accessories, and you will need accessories. Make sure if you already have Dies that they will work in the new Press. Try to get as much info from everyone that you can talk to that actually has several different Progressives. Knowledge is Power and Power is good when you go to purchase something. Don't make the mistakes like many before you. Try to do it right first and if it costs more-spend more or wait until you have the funds for it. Progressives are a whole new animal compared to a single stage. Wish someone talked to me before we purchased a Progressive. In fact a lot of things would have helped me out. I learned by trial and fire. I would have done some things differently, but back then some options were still not available. [/QUOTE]
