Getting it done

Who has time for being neat? There is only one powder out though , I can't screw that up........
 
I'm sure I'll want a progressive press sooner or later , but this one is working fine for now , this is all new still for me. A complete set up for a little over $200 is a great deal.
 
You might look at the lee breech pro since you have the dies pm all that.
I have used a early 80’s Hornady projector and never really looked at lee. I now have the blp and really like it and the ammo quality is just as good as anything.

I have been so pleased with it I bought the APP press. Point is, you do not have to buy a high dollar press and a case feeder that cost more than my whole setup.
By the way, the lee case feeder/collator works fine and I like to stop about every 100 rounds or so to do qc. You would have to refill primer tubes anyway so you can’t load a 1000 rounds without stopping anyway.

your bench looks good. Take your time and enjoy the process and you will have a better range day.

Thank you , and I am more than pleased with this little setup , and the ammo that I've produced so far seems to be more accurate than any of the bulk factory stuff I was buying before .

Alright now tell us what all you got for that $200.00 As far as I am concerned that Lee press is one of the most versatile presses made by anyone. The Lee Auto drum measure when they first came out had some issues but I believe have since been worked out. The one I have doesn't leak even with very fine ball powders and has been consistent enough with HP-38, Accurate AA powders and Ramshot Silhouette that it's become boring. Did you get a scale also?

Anyways, congrats on your purchase and it should serve you well for many years.

For $220 bucks the kit came with the press , one turret , the auto drum dispenser , the newest edition of the Lee loading date book , primer pocket cleaning kit , 1 tube of case lube. , and small and large primer dispensers. I then had to buy the 4 piece die set to get started , that was 45 bucks. I think it was a great buy , I'm pleased with it.

And a scale .......
