          Simple set up for reloading 223. Its not all there, but consist of the following...

          Lee Breechlock Hand Press
          Lee Ram Prime
          Lee Deluxe Perfect powder measure
          Lee quick change drum set
          RCBS AR Die Set
          Lyman Pocket Scale.

          The black bottle is used to fill from an 8lbs jug

          I was running a bench mounted Lee press and hand scooping the powder, but I like this new set up better.

                Moved from CA to ID and bought a much bigger house, and I was finally able to get a whole room dedicated to whatever I wanted (well.... two rooms, but this isn't a stereo forum so no pics of my listening room). So, I took an empty room and made it a reloading/gun/hangout room. No more sweating or freezing in the garage to reload, and plenty of space to keep things neat and organized.

                The local Home Depot had a clearance 50% off on unfinished cabinets, so I bought all they had. Put a ledger board in the back to anchor everything, and topped it of with 1/2" plywood under a 10' prefab Formica countertop with backsplash. Plenty sturdy, plenty of room.

                I'm pretty happy with it.

                    Nice!

                    Both the relocation and the bench setup

                              I don't have pics at the moment but here's a vid of me building the bench and setting it up.

                                Nice setup DTran333 and awesome vid! Happy to see that the Xl650 has gone to a great home, and to someone who anticipates many years of great use with it.
