They wanted $20 for a massive amount of brass/bullets, Dillon press with parts and a lot of other random reloading stuff.

      @@shotbytim9624 not always. Depends greatly on the set up being used. Some of the older set up seated gas checks one die and sized in a completely different die. That arbor style press was set up more along the lines of a lubricator die set up. Not a typical pass through sizer.
