Nice setup!

Is that a hand press on to of the shelf? :D

You're also loading shot? I'm not very familiar with that, but I might start it at some time, when I need black powder shot ammo. What press is that, and how is the handling? It's not the Lee load all.

I remember when my bench was this simple. Now it's an ever growing heaping pile of stuff!!!

However, while you are still at this early point I highly advise you to either build or buy a way to swap out your press with other gear.

Lee's offering:

Inline Fabrication:

Patmarlin's:

Trust me that right now it seems like this is all you need but the majority seem to grow quick. And I'm one of the pretty bad examples of growing too quick.

Yep,is a hand press.
It's a Mec Jr. 28 ga. Lee doesn't make a Load all in 28 ga. Works great can do a box in about 15 mins. I started out with a 12 ga. Load All. But with price of shot now it's just as cheap to buy em. 28 ga I can load a box for less than half of what store bought cost.
I don't think build a bench plate fore less than what Titan is selling em for.
Thanks for the advice.

Bob is right, you'll want to swap presses or put a vice sooner or later.

I got the Inline Fab Ultramount quick change system, and it makes life a lot easier. But the steel they used is really tough, drilling the holes for my vice and for the pro1000 sprent primer disposal hose was no fun at all.
