Hey guys,
It's finally go time. (My heart is actually thumping from anticipation-a bit ridiculous I know) I'm sitting down to order my first press. I have been researching the LCT, Lee Classic Turret Press, as some of you may know. As i sit here about to pull the trigger on the purchase, i notice the ones I'm seeing are called the Lee "Precision" Classic Turret press. That is the press I have been reading about here (on THR) all of the time right? I've never really heard the "Precision" part, that is not another press from Lee, thats the LCT right? I just want to make sure I have the linguistics right on this, so I don't order the wrong thing..
I also have some kit or no kit questions. From what I've read, I think i want a different scale, whats the name of the good RCBS, 0505? So i'm thinking (and these are Amazon prices) I'm going to get the press (119$), the safety primer system (30$), the Auto Riser (13$), and the RCBS scale ($??).
And of course some dies ($?), or should I just kit up?
Also, I had thought previously about priming off press with a handheld (so I can watch TV w my old lady while I'm doing it), and eliminating the primer system, but the more I think about it, this may be more trouble than it's worth since I have to de prime on press anyway...?
I've got to put my 2yr old down for a nap so it will take me a sec to get back to any comments, but thanks in advance! Any thoughts would be much appreciated, as I'm getting really close to launch and don't want to mess this up...Questions in bold...Sorry for long post...i'm a rambler..
Here is the kit link, assuming I pasted it right.
