They might have them there in 2006.

Nope, too lazy to do that.

Billy, don't worry about space. I have the 4hole turret press, a single stage press just for sitting & decapping a bunch of casings & my winzip all mounted on a little $25 Wal-Mart coffee table & put small casters on the legs so I can just move table to where I need it. You'll love the turret press, especially if you buy a turret for each caliber you plan on re loading. You can go from 30-06 to .45acp just by swapping turrets (& change powder & primers of course)

I have years ago. I removed the berdan cap, milled down the anvil, sized the primer pit for a Boxer and drilled a hole off center because of the two berdan holes.
I did this because I was buying military rounds for $5 a 100 and because I did crazy things like that. I did this for an Italian Carcano, a 7mm mauser and for 9mm par until I had enough boxers.
