Pulled the trigger on the one from Kempf, should be here Friday. Now it's time to shop for brass, powder and primers!

Kemp with pro auto measurer, 9mm and 38/357 dies, tumbler, scales and shipping $401

FS kit with 9mm and 38/357 dies, and using prices for kemp tumbler and scales not including shipping $439.

So is this a good deal and does it have everything we need for 9mm?

I know I will get 100 different answers for every 100 post but what would be the best press we could get into for around $400 with 9mm dies and still be easily upgradable?

I don't see anything for sale on here so where is a good place to buy it from? Google turns up hundreds of websites with prices varying from $100 to $thousands.

Like I said we all have 9mm but there are also some .38's, 357,s and others that we may want to reload in the future. I have never believed in buying the cheapest I like to buy as much as I can afford and if that means saving up for a couple of months then I don't mind doing that.

I am not a man so are you saying thats the wo-manly thing to do?

Absolutely. Pardon my not noticing the feminine nature of your handle.

Whatever fluffs your skirt, ma'am.

i have to get over to wally world
last time i saw a range pack of 100 rounds for the 9mm is was $42
if you can buy 100 for $20 its a bargain. I currently if i re-use my brass it cost me right at .13 cents per built up cartridge, i amortize the hazmat fee into my costs for powder so the bigger the jug 5 or 8 pounder it drives the per round cost down.
if i have to buy new brass its .31 cents per cartridge, brass fluctuates wildly in my area, and i usually get un primed or fired ONCE brass from an indoor range

hope it helps

FORTY TWO DOLLARS?!?! I had to look up to make sure I was on TXchlforum and not CAchlforum! WOW! Winchester white box is always $20 - $22 for 100. I bought some Remington last time for $9 something for 50. Bought all 8 boxes that they had.

I figure even if its break even it will be worth it just to have fun. The next question is where is a good place to buy the equipment? If there are 4 of us splitting the cost will $100 each get us started with what we need for 9mm with the option to add other dies later?
