Oklahoma did not become a state till 1907, and was a wild and wooly place.
Air Force brat, dad was stationed in Japan when I was about 2/3 years old, have one memory of the rock wall behind the house, lived off base.Navy Brat San Diego Balboa Hospital . Pop was still in Japan
I wish, someday to have a private place to go spend a day/weekend/week etc!
Took me until age 57, but I made it happenNot even gonna hide my jealousy.

You should not have to apply Gorilla force to simply resize a brass case’ even the larger cartridges while using good fitting dies should size smoothly.

Might not be a weld good enough for a naval steam plant, but your press will never know the difference... my dad was an HT and said I needed to practice way more because I was more of a grinder than a welder...View attachment 1088301 View attachment 1088302
A good 4th of July weekend. Shot rifles till my shoulder hurt. Made another iteration of .357 Magnum hunting rounds with my father.
And welded up this ugly but effective press riser. I’ll paint it up this week hopefully and get it mounted to the bench!

there are some critics on the thread
LOL!!! Let the critics eat dirt.Got the press mounted but as I’ve learned with the welds on the plates there are some critics on the thread so I’ll wait to post a pic of the bench till I have it cleaned and organized.
But did he/she have it mounted to a used bar stool?A return to the OP. The simplest setup I've seen was a Lee press, dies, a balance, funnel and the powder scoops. The reloader modified scoops to whatever powder he used and just dropped them into the cases.
Some of us are not critics but are reminded of fond times with Ole dad...Got the press mounted but as I’ve learned with the welds on the plates there are some critics on the thread so I’ll wait to post a pic of the bench till I have it cleaned and organized.
