Reloading is an interesting hobby all on its own. Like all hobbies, there are certain things that each person figures out for himself, often by repurposing something with a totally different task. That’s what I just did, and it will be installed this evening. I needed an arbor press to seat bullets for the 223AI using the Wilson inline seater. I don’t have a small arbor press handy, only a big one that is far beyond what is needed. Even a harbor freight press is a bit overkill for what I need. I could buy a 7/8-14 bolt and just use the ram on my classic cast, but this seems a better path. It just needs to seat bullets... doesn’t take much.

So what’s the most random or odd thing you have on your bench?
