For those on a fixed income, that isn't difficult, but then the time saved allows you to make or scrounge more $$ too.
My first 550 cost me $250. It paid for itself in less than 4m loading 45colt for CAS. Today that machine is worth $400+. Just saying, too many people put little value on their time & only look at the $$$s. I can always make/scrounge $$$. Time on the other hand is always fleeting
Being retired,I have more time than money most of the year with the end of the money arriving before the end of the month during a few times of the year.

Can I send Dillon $10 a month for 10 years,I think not.

OK,I'm not that bad off financially,I simply don't need to pump out a month's worth of shooting in one hour and then watch the boob tube or take the mrs shopping much more than .I care to.

I enjoy the slower pace of my Lee Classic Turret
