I bought my lnl ap press on 11/14 of last year from Wideners for $299. I'd heard about their free bullet program but never saw too much on it. I saw a hornady add that said that the qual dates are 11/15/06 - 12/31/07 so I decided to call Hornady and see if they would still give me the 1000 free bullets since I was only 1 day off. They said they would go ahead and honor it. Even at non retail prices, the 1000 bullets still come to about half or better of the price of the press.
I was going to order the lnl classic press by itself from Wideners. Their price is $105 out of stock. Midway and Midsouth is $117 I think. I just happened to see Wideners had an older model of the classic kit for $199 with 5 in stock. I'm guessing the only difference between the older model and the new kit is the reloading manuals as I believe Hornady just updated their manuals. I ordered that a little bit ago. Their is another 500 bullets.
I also ordered 4 die sets from Midway back in Dec. so there is another 400 bullets coming my way. I'm going to be ordering at least 1 more die set and will probably order any dies that I might possibly reload for in the future. They are just about free when you factor in the cost of the bullets.
So for a little over $620 worth of purchases I get 1900 bullets. Not too bad. Now I just need to figure out which bullets I want. I wonder if the Blue Press has that kind of deal and service!?!
