I use a variety of equipment from All the mfg's , Hornaday , Lyman , Rcbs , Lee , Redding and Frankfort Arsenal equipment , that I've gathered up through the last 50 years . If one piece of equipment works well for me , I keep it and still use it to this day. if it didn't I trashed it , or through it in one of several boxes of old equipment storage I have , and don't use it to this day, because I've replaced it with a Different mfg's piece of equipment , or replaced it yet the 3rd. or 4 th. or 5 th. time to keep my bench updated with the latest modern equipment , that makes the job easiest for me . >>>>>>>>> Sorta like a mechanic and His Modern Tool Chest<<<<<<<<<<<
Such as digital powder throwers and scales . I've use every kind of loading press's they make , or Pretty close , and finely decided on using a single stage press . I've try them all on varies task's and decide on one , which I bought 4 of that go's across one of my reloading benches , and that happens to be the Lee Classic Cast single stage press . I use 4 separate press" as I load ammo cases , reason being , I use a separate die in each press of what ever caliber I'm loading . Some calibers I load only require the use of 2 or 3 die's and so I only use either 2 or 3 of the presses as I load for that caliber . I've tried 3 different progressive type presses and None of those worked for me.... Toooooo much play or movement in the system as you use it. I Highly recommend any new to reloading people , to use a Good Solid Strong Single Stage Reloading Press " To load your ammo .
I use Mostly All Lee die set's with the exception of 3 calibers , 357 mag. 44 mag , and 45 acp . I use Redding competition die set with micro meteor bullet seaters , mainly because I use to shoot those calibers in competition shooting , in my younger days . I use only the Lee Factory Crimp die on All calibers I load . I use RCBS" Digital 1500 scales to weigh out bullets , cases , bullets and powder , and shot for my shotgun reloading task's . I have and use Two different RCBS High $ 1500 Automatic Powder thrower I use , one for metallic loading , and the other on my shotgun bench for use in loading those shotgun ammo . (The Fastest most accurate weigh out system there is to date ) I use the RCBS ~ APS bench mounted priming system to prime all caliber cases . I use a Lyman powder case trimmer to trim all cases . I use the RCBS power prep. station to prep All cases , rifle and pistol , for New cases mainly .
I don't cast any more , but still have all of that equipment as well , It's all Lyman and Lee equipment . ..... Pictures below of the work area . The Cave.... No Girl aloud :biggrin:.... Magnum 6
