First timer reloading set up

[D.A.V.I.D.]

Got a Dillon 550 given to me by a family member who didn't use it anymore. He gave me pretty much everything needed and dies for 4 calibers. Sunday I loaded 200 rounds of 45acp, 100 with unique and 100 #5. Went and shot those yesterday and every round was successful. Loaded a few hundred more last night after knowing I liked the load with the #5.

Next is buying a quick change kit for 9mm. Don't have much room so my setup had to be mobile. It's actually pretty sturdy, just set a full ammo box on it and it doesn't give much. Pretty awesome gift and now I'm ready for next year and not paying store prices.

Nice -
Next get a couple of bricks . wrap in towels and set at back of table more weight = sturdier .
Idid not see safety glasses / goggles /face shield -harbor freights sell cheap .
If you already loaded some , you know you need a good chair

Looks like a good start. I have that same primer tray :-) Remember to turn the fann off when you use the balance.

the full ammo can is for the weight, I did wear safety glasses but no chair. I'm putting one foot on the step on the table to keep it extra sturdy but my right foot was really feeling it after last nights session.

I learned that I need the fan off and garage fully shut. That light of weight is sensitive to the slightest breeze. Just ordered some Lyman weights too to make sure I'm right on.

Very nice!
Maybe a cuppla reloading pamphlets from 2017 would be cool to double check/cross reference along with online information, they do change periodically to suit lawyers lingo.
Lawyers....
I also would not load, or have the gear in plain sight with the garage door open, that's just inviting to some A-Hole trying to steal your firearms.
A-Holes/Lawyers....
