I put one on backorder from Midsouth last week. Prices seem to be going up everywhere on them. They have it for $310 but it's on back order, expected in stock on 25 March. Wideners had it listed for $299, but it jumped to $369 last week. They are out of stock too, no one seems to have them. Also, if you get one by Dec 31st, Hornady will send you 1000 bullets if you pay shipping...$12 I think, you have to pick from their list though. I'm going to get their 230gr XTP in .45

Here's what you'll need, as a "very nice" starter setup:
Hornady LnL AP Progressive
Shellplate #16 for .223 caliber
Die set for .223 (If you don't want to trim a lot, buy a Lee Deluxe die set and add an RCBS X-die to it. Note: RCBS recommends the small base die to insure feeding in semiautomatics.)
Hornady powder scale or RCBS 505 powder scale (Same basic thing)
RCBS Trim Pro trimmer
RCBS Trim Pro 3-way head for .223 (This is a major labor saver for trimming brass.)
(As an alternative, get a Giraud case trimmer and .223 kit, which is faster and setup about the same way.)
RCBS Trim Mate with accessories
Frankford Arsenal tumbler and rotary sifter kit or equivalent
Lee Classic Cast single stage press (Even though you'll have a progressive, these come in very handy with a Lock N Load conversion kit so you can swage military brass with a CH4D swager or decap with a Lee Universal decapper before tumbling, plus you can reload on them with only a die set as well.)
Safety glasses
1/8" Corn cob media bought at the local feed store
Nu Finish Car polish to use as an additive to the corn cob media
Set of calipers
This should get you started pretty well.
Regards,
Dave
