well this is my little setup, along with gunsmith bench and star lube sizer.

OK, I'm jealous. Very nice setup.
Just curious, where's your casting setup?

Interesting solution to mounting a bench powder measure to use with a press and funnel...

My humble little bench. Small, but solid. 1-1/2" hardwood ply(3/4" x 2 glued and screwed) bench top.

I think I just found my new bench! I have a room in my new basement just for me. It'll serve as a my "Man room" Guns, Cigars and Booze all in the same place!

Pretty amazing what kind of Rub Goldberg stuff you can come up with when digging around the shop looking for something else.
I was trying to come up with a reducer to mount to the top of the Pistol powder thru expanding die.

Couldn't find any thing but ended up with this. And it works!
Swings out of the way to remove turrets or ad the Auto pro disk measure.

I only use it for my Unique loads. its the only measure that I have found that gives consistently accurate drops for that powder.

wow, that's awesome! I could really use something like that. And checking the charge periodically would be a snap. Pull the funnel and it would be easy to manual charge an case independently for weight checking.

Pop that funnel back in and it's back to production.

I need a new expanding die now!

so far the best part is actually seeing the powder drop. I dont have to hope it dropped or verify it dropped. I know it dropped.
I did not think that would be my favorite part. But it is.

Nice nice nice Rockchucker. My Stars haven't been that clean in 10 years. HEE HEE

Thanks LAH, It should be pretty clean after the mess I made trying to remove the magma lube out of it. I turned up the heat to melt the lube out and got blube everywhere. Live by experience I say. I will say an air feed is in my future afterI get over the purchase shock.

I use an air feed & sure enough it is great.

My box is finally finished. I reloaded with it for the first time today. Part of the problem with finishing it was the fact that I was bugged by how rough it looked... until I finally got a miter saw to make better cuts. I hope the pics aren't too big.
