Don't forget to get a rotary media separator. I have (2) Cabelas tumblers and rotary media separator and they work fine. Red, Green, or Blue doesn't much matter

So much better
Brass Tumbler Kit | 5 Gallon Bucket Sifter
Our Media Separator Kits come in two options, one with media separator and one with a 5 gallon bucket and sifter. Both come with 6lbs of corn media and polish.
I have 2 of these kits and they’ve been going strong since 2013.
Scheels just had the kit for $100 shipped but looks like they’re out of stock. I think @paul73 may have got the last one lol

Here’s my list so far and total pricing.
1.Carbide sets and case length gauges/shells holders for 9mm, 44mag, .223, 6.5cr, and 7.6x39
2. Lee deluxe turret press kit
3. 4 extra turrets
4. Case trimmer cutter and lock stud
$500 on the dot shipped
Berry’s vs PD bullets? Seems at least for 9mm the fmj from PD would be much better than Berry’s electroplate…

Gotcha. That's the bullet I usually cast, but why bother when Norm has it coated and at decent prices. It's not worth firing up the Coleman Stove. Enjoy!
Once you burn through the first thousand, you might find that plated is a better cost option.
Next step is getting a workplace cleaned up and ready. Gotta buy more bullets, powder, and primers. Maybe upgrade some of the classic turret bloat ware. I didn’t grab one of the rifle charging die setups with the double disk yet either as I was unaware I needed one. Is one set good for my 3 rifle loads- .223, x39, and 6.5cr? I was watching something about that on the UR YT video of this particular press.
So small rifle primers for the 2.23/5.56, large and small pistol primers for 44mag/9mm, and maybe large rifle primers for the the x39 and 6.5 brass?

Yup. Though 6.5 can be small or large rifle primers. I think a majority of factory 6.5 ammo uses a LRP.
X39 brass can have a SRP too I believe. Again, majority of the brass will be LRP. You’d have to look at the brass you got.

Don't need a double disk kit with the autodrum - extra drums make it easier to swap around one powder measure.
You will need the rifle charge dies - get the dual die kit because you'll need both.
If you want to keep turrets setup pick a third die - can be either size for 223.
I didn't see digital calipers in you goodie box. if you don't have any pick up a cheap pair from Harbor Freight - they are the same ones you get from a reloading supplier but half the cost.
Case gauges are very helpful for rifle - for pistol they can be a pain if you are reloading cast but great otherwise.

I have some large primer 6.5 brass all boxed up somewhere in the shop if you need some to get going.
Thanks for the offer but I have plenty of brass.
