HuntJefferson,
please get with a shooting range/club. often times reloading gear is offered in club newsletters for much less than retail and works fine. Since RCBS, Redding, etc. make stuff to last a lifetime, buying used is not buying lesser quality, usually, and can save lots of $.. i bought my RCBS rock chucker press as a used press. that was almost 40 years ago. still running strong and tight. so as far as the chrono, the tumbler, the trimmer, and possibly the dies, don't hesitate to look into used gear to save $. or put a WTB ad in the range/club news letter and see what might turn up. a lot of my reloading tools were bought used, still give great service, and saved me a bunch of $.
