Very nice set-up.

Mine's a little more basic. army smile I don't exactly "crank 'em out" but when I get a rhythm going I can whack up a couple of boxes of .30-06 pretty fast.
Nice thing is on good days in the spring and fall, I can put the whole works in a milk carton and bring it out to do on the tailgate of my truck.



I see that in both cases, Folgers eases the job along. Army Very Happy

I use a Lee turret press with the 4 hole plate. I put in a carbide sizer and a case mouth bell die beside each other. so I have two of each dies in the turret. That way I can size and bell a case mouth with two pulls and then be lined up with a sizer for two more pulls on a new piece of brass. I tumble my brass and then use a Lee hand primer tool to prime the brass. Unfortunately, I have to load each piece of brass with a bullet (after putting in powder) one at a time. I also put on a taper crimp on a separate press. But I get some really nice bullets that way. It's really somewhat theraputic. kwg

And milk cartons. Did you know that a milk carton fits exactly 18 coffee cans in 2 layers of 9 (3x3).
And they say there's no such thing as intelligent design!
