minimalized loading "bench"

Post by Fyodor »

Hey, guys,

this is my current reloading setup. It will improve within a short time to a pro1000 and a small reloader press.

But you won't be able to improve on the fun you're having learning to "roll your own". +guns

That hand press will always be a useful tool for several chores about your bench and at the range. I hope you realize your making a pack with the addiction devil as you will quickly out grow the bench pictured and, well suffer our fate as another lost soul to the handloading addiction. :twisted: :lol:

This little press is unexpectedly easy to use and comfortable. I won't give it away, even if it is the old version without the breech lock feature. On the range there's nothing comparable.

Looks like a fine setup to me. Reloading is as reloading does!

Well put RD as long as you can feed the habit you are in the fold. nothing wrong their. I want to someday get a 4hole turret lee. I am still holding back as I enjoy the accuracy I get on my single stage. I only need to speed up my powder measureing and still be dead on accurate.

When I started reloading in the mid 80's my entire kit fit in a shoe box in my footlocker at college! I still reloaded all the time and shot almost every weekend! I did not have a dedicated reloading space until 1990!

Well, with this little fella and only one set of dies, there would be plenty of room in a fully grown shoebox at the moment :lol: . But if I count in all the ammo boxes, primers, powder (TrailBoss is BULKY) and stuff, I use a little bigger box.

Day before yesterday I did 500 rounds of pre sized and primed cases. Still, it was a 6 hours marathon of watching Deadwood DVDs.

Was a really nice and relaxing night, but you really don't win any prices when it comes to speed.
