I'm probably going to add a redding t7 and a small tumbler for small batchs but I really don't want a progressive press. I don't burn alot of ammo, maybe 200 rounds a week, and I enjoy the process. I load for 8 different handgun calibers and do alot of small batchs, 200 rounds, and I like to try different loads in all of those. I have a pretty good inventory so I really just load what I shoot. If I load rifle it's range ammo, maybe not bench rest stuff but close and my rock chukker is good for that. I also shoot revolver more than anything else so I can be very flexable with loads, don't worry about feeding issues. Don't need to pick up brass either.

Built shelves and such today..set dies with help from and . Made some dummy rounds and did the plunk test/hand cycle test. Have about 45 bucks in material for the bench and shelves, 35 in wiring. The bat is in case the wife breaches my perimeter and violates the command post

I like the spitoon but you would think an electrician would have a nicer light fixture.

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

We'd like to keep you around through the summer

Nice !

Shaping up to be a great man cave! I see you got toonage... that's a requirement.

Now for lots of boolits!

I'm in Ft. Lauderdale with Gail and Kate (Gail has a government paid conference to be at so Kate and I tagged along).

We drove down and briefly thought about trying to drop in, but it was too far out of the way, and after seeing that picture of you in Ell's other post... well...

Anyway, we're having fun poking around Ft. Lauderdale!
