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.

Re: Auto Drum Storage Stand
The older I get more slips seem happen and not just on the bench but life itself.

Re: Auto Drum Storage Stand

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....

Re: Auto Drum Storage Stand
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.
