    I hadn't thought about using one of those stands for a reloading press - might just work pretty good. I've got 3 of them in use now for a couple of grinders and a buffing wheel.

    Good thinking.

    Automotive brake rotors are a good source of "dead weight", and in plentiful supply at your local repair shop.
    More-so for those bench grinder stands that are a pedestal as opposed to the quad-leg type.
    But either way, that's a pretty cheap form of mass.

    You just act any bullets you are loading on the bottom shelf. Would be stand tips over you know you need to order more.

    Same boat! Bought a faxon pencil 16" 1-8, aero precision no FA upper, and just now bought a Vltor clamp on gas block for a lightweight build.
    Wondering whether I should stick with ALG defense rails, or try something different.
    Thinking about a GWACS polymer lower too.

    Working up a .44spl load so I loaded up 12 each of 10 different powder/bullet combinations.
    Now I have to find time to go to the range? This weekend is out........anniversary Sat and Mother's Day Sun. Guess it will have to be next weekend.

    I ran my Magma Bullet Master MKII for the first, "real" test run yesterday. Ended up with 44 POUNDS of bullets in about 40 minutes or so.

    Now I am looking for more Magma molds. Holler if you have any that you arent using. Thanks!!

    Yesterday I tumble lubed about 1K multi caliber boolits, sized them all, then pan lubed 400, and tumble lubed the rest.

    I sanded down a synthetic gun stock and put on the first coat of primer. I found some more sanding will be necessary and may work on that tomorrow... then another coat of primer, some coyote tan paint, and some clear coat.

    While heating up my lead pot and mold I loaded some 9mm with the Lyman 356402 boolits I cast up the other day. When the pot got hot enough, I cast 300 more of the Lyman boolits.

    The 400 boolits I pan lubed that I mentioned earlier(post#4120) this morning are from the Lee version of that same boolit. Nice!
