Finally!

Post by wscywabbit »

I am finally, after much anticipation, able to start reloading! My classic turret press kit and accessories got here Monday.

I have been accumulating some odds and ends over the past few months as well as pulled an old workbench out of my shed / shop and cleaned it up. Once the shed gets a new roof the workbench will go back inside and that will be my reloading room.

Until then, and to the dismay of my wife, my reloading area is in the bedroom so that it is isolated from the kids and the dogs lol.

Nice looking setup. The kids can be distracting but typically the dog makes good reloading company!

Thanks guys. Here's a little better vantage at the moment. I hope to be able to move into the shed later this summer. Image

So, after a little fiddling around I've got this turret all set up. I took note of another post ( I'm sorry, I don't remember who posted it. But thank you so much!) and shimmed up the safety prime system with a washer after the first hundred rounds ( it would sometimes hang up with the RAM all the way up, or drop the occasional primer.) Now it swings free, and does a much better job of priming. [emoji106]

I have also added some removable hanging bins to the front of the bench to hold brass, bullets and the occasional "mistake" that would need special attention later.
