I've been eyeballing the same setup. Any chance you can post the bits you ordered so I can price it out. My biggest concern is forgetting some little piece and having to wait.
I ordered a few different things so I have several options of loading rifle, and I also ordered some extra parts because they were cheap and I was recommended to get them, so I did. I don't think I missed out anything, but if I did I will just pick it up locally, but if I ever decide to load up for a few different calibers, then I would try to bundle up as much as possible and order from factorysales because they are really cheap compared to everyone else....
Anyways, this is the entire order that I placed, with a small description beside things that could of been deleted, or done cheaper/different for someone else who was ordering the same type of set-up.

Subtotal: $ 357.57
Shipping cost: $ 79.95
Total: $ 437.52
This is a copy of my packing slip, with the total prices showing. $437.52 is what I paid from (FRAUD ALERT). That includes shipping ($79.95 )....Now, I could of been able to reload 9mm and 30/06 for cheaper, but I chose to order some extra stuff that was'nt entirely necessary. There is also a chance the when I pick up my order from Canada Post, that I might have to pay the HST + a $5 handling fee, so I might have to cough up a extra $52 at the Post Office, but thats only if I was unlucky and my package was inspected at the border.
Worst case senario, if I get my stuff inspected at the border and have to pay the extra tax, then my total price will be $489
If someone just wanted to load pistol, then it would really save yourself alot of money by ordering the Deluxe Pistol Kit, with the cheaper turret press. You can order that kit, and a few extra things necessary to reload, for about half of what I paid.
I also bought myself a RCBS bullet puller (hammer), and several different plastic ammunition containers. I had a extra Mitutoyo dial caliper at work, that I did'nt use, so I brought it home, because a accurate measuring tool is very important. Its probably worth more money than my entire reloading kit, but I'm a machinist and already had it, but otherwise I would just spend $30 on one from Canadian Tire.

My stuff is at Canada Customs, waiting to be inspected.....according to my tracking # anyways. Its been there for a week now. I would imagine that it won't be much longer.....I'm not in a major rush anyways, because my new CZ75 Shadow is'nt here yet either, so I don't have a 9mm to shoot anyways.
