I don't know, $254 just doesn't seem "nominal".

When we did this the two of us were each looking at reloaders.  We were both looking at Dillon 650's at around $700.  One evening we were talking and found this out.  A month later we had purchased the 650 together, set it all up, got everything else, and had spend $700 each.

This is not as bad as it seems, because we have two complete heads - Mine set for .45acp, and his for .38super, and all the other gadgets that clutter the reloading room.

Since you brought it up I have two questions. Is the primer size the same and how would you deprime a berdan case? I have some brass cased berdan primed ammo for 7.62x25 tokarev I would like to reload down for 30 mauser since it is too hot for a Broomhandle.

Looks like a LOT of fun....especially if you have a few 1000s of them.

No and where would you find Berdan primers?

Berdan cases have the anvil built in so you can't even seat a boxer primer.

Cool and the price isn't that bad.

And here's a post from another board about their methodology.
