Damoncall , As for the price criticism , in the scheme of the money we all spend on our hobby the extra $150ish spread over a lifetime of shooting is a meaningless cost. If a $150 spent once in a lifetime is an obstacle then you really can’t afford to shoot.
I agree. Way too many handloaders fail to amortize the cost of their equipment over the long haul. Spread out over 40-60 years and the cost is hardly nothing. Refrain from buying those $6 lattes for a few months and you'll have the money to get the equipment that you want but didn't want to spend the money for. Once you buy the equipment that will last your lifetime (at least) then you can start buying the lattes again. It's all about priorities.
Lattes are temporary. Quality loading equipment is forever.
