Standup bench for me but I'm looking at making a lower drop down extension to set my MEC 650 on. The higher bench works well for my LNL-AP and RCBS JR but I'd rather press down on the shotshell...

Menopause? Yeah, got that going on too.
I really need to get to the range more. It's still cheaper than therapy.

Had my LNL-AP several years now. Only been loading straight wall pistol on it thus far so I can't speak to the leverage complaint. It has a boatload more leverage than the RCBS JR I've been using...

Wow Randy, those high school work benches -- FLASHBACK! I can still hear Mr Simond's (shop teacher) preaching shop safety on first day. "When in the welding or casting area when the metal is white...

Matt,
You might as want to put in more than one new circuit if your panel has room (regardless of whether you hire the wiring job or DIY w/ coaching). Incrementally the additional cost is small...

Your description of firearms licensing requirements is chilling. Let it be a cautionary tale for all of us who enjoy (relative) freedom. As we approach the New Year it's a fitting reminder for us...

If it happens that Red Dot suits your application and you're using a fair bit of the case volume then give Alliant Promo a look.
Cheaper than Red Dot. Uses same load data by weight as Red Dot but...

I would have bought a press with an integrated sizing station but got a really good price on a used 650 about 3 years ago. So far I've just left it set up for trap/dove loads and dialed in for 2...

Love my LNL-AP. Always thought I'd be getting a Blue Press when I got a progressive. However, the Hornady free bullets deal and lower cost of caliber conversions (i have quite a few I load for) made...

Still have the JR I traded a $7 Carcano for in 1976. It was my first and only press till I got a LNL-AP a couple years ago. Still gets plenty of use for the odd operation I don't want set up the LNL...

Simple answer #1: split up any "over the limit" stash and store some at family and friend's property.
Simple(r) answer #2: convert primers and powder to finished rounds :-)
