I did pretty well on Craigslist when I got my set up.

Not quite as well as Mr.Wobbly, but I saved a ton of money.

Now all I need to do is buy a .45 so I can use up the stuff that came along with the deal.  ;D

Don't give up after the first look.

It might take a few weeks.

My fiance is getting a bit excited about the whole thing though... she wants to learn too... The budget can't change much but she is scheming.  8)

We pick up her new pistol from the shop tomorrow.

Why use 911 when it's faster to use 1911 or 9mm?

If she's picking up a CZ, then we might vote her in.   ;D

CZ 75B Satin Nickel finish.  8)

Went to the factory sales site... they do not have the classic turret in kit form... but I can still buy it by the piece a little cheaper.

Marine:
Have no hands on with the ?Classic? Lee Turret Press
But I do have hundreds of thousands of rounds loaded with my non indexing ?Original? Lee Turret Press
I?ve loaded .32 thru .44 Pistol and 7.62X51/.308 (including full length resizing) without a single issue
Unless the aluminum they use in the base of these Presses has gotten weaker over the years, I feel a standard, 4 hole, Lee Turret Press will serve you well enough
No real need for the added expense of the ?Classic?
Just my $0.02
Here are pictures of my (ORIGINAL) Lee Turret Press
And my collection of RCBS Dies, each set mounted in their own turrets, stored in Lee Round Die Boxes?.SORRY, the 4 hole turrets won?t fit in the Lee Die Boxes
Note the afore mentioned Spacer Ring visible on a few of the Dies

Den,

I have to disagree with you on presses.  I prefer the Magnaflow press to the Flowmaster.  It is a little deeper sounding and doesn't produce as much resonance in the truck.   ;)

Yeah James, I gotta agree there
I had MagnaFlows on my ?98, but when I got the ?04, my Brother-in-Law (Also my Muffer Guy) changed over to FlowMasters and I just couldn?t pass on the price
PLUS the FlowMaster sticker fit SOooo nice there

The Classic kit includes the Auto disk Pro measure. Apparently its better than the normal Auto disk from what I read.

Went shooting the new pistol today, about to post a new thread with some pics and results.

Well, we took a vote and your fiancee was voted into the Club.

The "jury is still out" concerning the other half.     ;D
