Exactly this.
Most people just buying the press don't want nor 'need' a PTX, case feeder, bullet feeder die (you can also buy the PTX separate from the BFD); they want to get loading safely and consistently.
Unless you want to run the bullet feeder, or separate seat + crimp dies plus a powder check, it's just not needed.
@OP
Everything you need to load both rifle and pistol calibers comes with the LnL AP, except for shell plates + dies.
Get it set up, running smoothly, and your confidence level up before worrying about anything else/'extra' parts/accessories.
Once you do, come back with questions on how we're running ours (e.g. separate seat, crimp, with or without case and/or bullet feeders, extra PMs, PM inserts vs micrometer inserts, etc.). but right now, get familiar with the press and get some ammo loading up.

Ok, you spent $400 to load slow? No you spent $400 to go fast, not reckless, just fast. Get a bullet feeder die, 1/3 of your time is spent seating the brass in the press, 1/3 is seating the bullet, and pulling the lever is the last 1/3 of your time.
The guy wants to know what he needs to get going. No need to confuse him with accesories, implying that they are needed. Those can come later after he's up and running.
I load 100 rounds in under 5 minutes without PTX or case feeder.

Exactly what I had planned. I've reloaded for years, and had turret presses but this is the first progressive. Most questions have been answered through searching already, just couldn't find the one that caused me to start this thread. Honestly, I just didn't want to have to pay shipping again if I NEEDED something else. If I want something else after getting it setup, that's a different story.
Thanks for the input for sure though!
