    Default My reloading room

    Well it isn't anything special at all but it does the job for me. I still have the very simple lee handloader but for right now it works very well for me.

    Records have been set with those little Lee Loaders, and many of us started out with them. Mine is for 20ga shotshells. A press and a priming tool sure make things easier and faster. Dead varmints don't know the difference, though. You will likely catch a worse case of the loading bug if you stick around here and decide you can never have enough loading tools.
    If I can see it, I can hit it. Now, where did I put my glasses?

    Nothing wrong with Lee reloaders. I have about 15 of them from 22 Hornet to 375 H&H. Nothing quite like rapping in a primer and having it go off and send the rod skyward to help keep your eyes open either
    At least your bench is nice and tidy, mine looks like a small thermoneucrear device has been detonated on it

    Have you chronied that 243 load? If your of a mind could you post the load? might be interesting on the odd rabbit or feral cat!!

    Default Clean bench

    It's been several decades, but I seem to remember when my bench had a clean top.

    A clean top? How would you find ANYTHING on a clean top. I am positive it is suppose to take twice as long to do anything because I put it right here and now I don't know where it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
