My prepper portable/mobile reloading kit...anyone have one?

Sure it's just for plinking and load development at the range for now, but in a pinch...this would come in handy for me...only missing powder and favorite dies. Anyone else have a ready to go kit and what tools do you have in it.

I load up all my ammo. No real need to reload at the range. I load up all my loads and just test them at the range. To many things can go wrong with reloading that I want it to be in a controlled environment with little to no distractions.

As the post above states reload at home. Wind can suck the powder out of the case before you can seat the bullet. It won't suck it all out but enough to mess your loads up. This is especially true with with pistol cases due to the wider mouth and shorter length. I have watched people reload at outdoor ranges and after seeing that no way would I reload at a range.

l take a similar kit when I'm on the road sometimes to reload in my hotel room

I have probably 4 sets of reloading equipment that are portable. I wouldn’t define them as prepper, since if things really do go south ammo availability/supply is about 573rd on my list of concerns. But they would all be functional in that sense.

1st is a set of Lyman 310 tools, powder scoops, and assorted reloading equipment. I actually do most of my reloading on this these days, can do anything I need except for fl resizing of rifle brass. Stored in a Stanley lunchbox, with one bottle of powder and a couple sleeves of different primers. Ideally I’d like a second bottle of powder in there but that’s about the entire capacity.

2nd is sets of lee loaders for almost everything I shoot. I enjoy them every so often.

3rd is a tiny portable shotgun press, some primer seaters, and a black powder powder/shot scoop. Also bench clampable roll crimp tools for 12 and 20.

4th is one of the Buchanan Precision Machine portable reloading presses. I mostly use it for fl resizing rifle brass, but have plenty of dies I can use with it. Really nice reloading tool, pricey but I can’t see him making much profit per unit.

I don’t have space to have a permanently set up reloading area, and having to assemble and break down my reloading set up eats into the time I have to reload. Something like 357 mag I can crank out just as fast with the 310 tool as my single stage press or a lee turret, and I can do it wherever I happen to be. A couple times a year maybe I’ll go though the rigamarole of cranking out volume on a more conventional tool, but until I move out of California my space limitations make this the best solution for me.

Years ago, I had a portable/mobile reloading set up. I used the Lee hand press. I stored it inside a large Contico plastic tool box. The top of the box served as my reloading area. I had all the components and tools needed to reload at least 2 to 3 calibers while at the range (outdoors of course). Slow but it worked. I carried a cyclops bubble level so I can level the tool box on rough ground to keep my powder beam scale leveled. Had a make shift cardboard wind deflector for the powder scale. I still have the hand press and tool box.

I have a set up very similar to yours. I use the Lee handpress and the appropriate dies. I usually have the brass already primed at home. I include a small digital scale and a loading tray. It works great for me. I don't use it much any more as all of my loads are mapped out but I did get a lot of use out of it and even helped a other guys at the range a few times.
