I still have Dads old RCBS press , set up for the 5/8 in dies , It has not been on the bench in at least 20 years 

 

funny note , I still have his Lyman turret press (small die) , on the bench , I can not recall the last time it was used for any thing 

 

 CB :huh:

 

Bill, does it look like this one?  :)

 

The Kid has his set up on a "Hazard Fraught" (Harbor Freight) grinder stand.  Handy and portable!  ^_^

I decided to move the Rock Chucker back away from the edge of the table.

 

I have it set so that I can place a fifty round shell holder in front of it so that I can take the loaded shells directly from the holder to the press and then put ‘em in a box.

 

My primer station is set up to the left. The powder measure is between it and the press.

 

If I use the sizer/depriming die, I can come straight out of the press to the tray, move the tray to the priming station, prime the shell, measure in the powder and set it into another tray to do the nitro cards, wads, and then on to the shot.  At that point, I wind up back in front of the press to do the over shot card and crimp.

 

We’ll try it and see how it works. If it doesn’t, I’ll change it around.

 

That new stand makes it so that the lever never comes close to the table top. The little shelf under the press is great for storing my shell stacker, shell vise, and my metal cup that I use for all sorts of stuff.

12ga shell tray. Notice the shelf?
