    Taurus model 85

    This is what I use for my Dillon xl650. Tool heads are pre-staged by caliber with required dies. Built it from scrap lumber in my shop. Simple, not sophisticated but works for me.

    Selling on GunBroker

    In my experience, GB fees and commissions are charged to and collected from the seller. It’s up to the seller if they pass that on, in some manner, to the buyer or eat it as a cost of business.
