I spend a couple days each week staying at my buddy's place. Since it's the only time I have that's really "mine" these days, I figured I should do SOMETHING besides eat, and sleep.
Thus I'm assembling a mini portable reloading station. I also intend to have it set up so I can take it to the range with me, and clamp it to the tailgate of my truck.
So far all I've got is a little Lee breachlock single stage press, a board, and some c-clamps. This weekend tho, I think I'll break out my chop saw, make it a nicer board, and build a little wind proof box for digital scale and a powder trickler. I'm thinking I'll try find a trickler with a long enough er.... Arm? So I can extend it out the side of the box.
On top of that I'm thinking I'll add a cheap powder thrower to reduce exposure time.
I've got plenty of ideas, but no real concrete plans, so we'll see lol.
Oh I did actually load some stuff to use tomorrow morning on the way home.
And I gotta say, this little Lee press runs quite nicely.
It's not what I'd want for large cases, forming, or any other heavy task.
It did make short work of resizing .270win, and 6.5 grendel brass tho. It's also a little tight in both height clearance and finger room, but totally liveable.
Costs about the same as a box of ammo also.
