Auto Drum Storage Stand

Post by Ranch Dog »

Off the press, this thing needs a kickstand! GasGuzzler seemed to like my Safety Prime storage (Lee part # BP3065) and that got me thinking about something similar for the Auto Drum. A small length of 1/8" bar stock (1 1/2"x5") and a step drill is all it took.

I had a spare 9mm Luger Powder Through Expander Die sitting in my spares, lock rings on each side keep it secure. Any die with a threaded top would work.

A bit bummed in that the last screw hole I drilled was off. My template had slipped and I didn't notice it. Oh well, I'm not anal enough to cut and drill another.

Keep it.

It's a reminder no one is perfect.

The older I get more slips seem happen and not just on the bench but life itself. :oops:
If it works don't fix it! :P
An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out.

When setting a job up for myself it must be Idiot Proof as well, as I am a bigger idiot than most people I know, and I prove it to myself everyday.

Either paint it black to mask or make a new stand...

Knowing how particular you are about things, you won't rest till that looks good.... +corn

I store my powder measures on a wood shelf. For the Lee powder measures I use a cutoff 20 gauge Activ shotgun shell with the primer punched out. It hugs the threads quite well and is fastened with a one inch wood screw to the surface.
