I've decided to take the cash from my last rifle I sold and instead of buying another rifle upgrade some of my equipment. I do not reload in large quantities and I enjoy doing things kind of slow and methodical, BUT I am doing more reloading all the time and certain tasks seem to be taking more time than I like.
Here is what I use (since 1975) and if anyone can make suggestions for minor upgrades that will speed up the process I would welcome them. I am 69 yr old and just a little set in my ways, so not looking for major changes....just a little improvement.
RCBS Rock Chucker Jr Press
RCBS Model 5-0-5 Powder Scale
All RCBS die sets (except one set of Lee's)
RCBS "Duo Measure" Powder Measure
RCBS Powder Trickler
MTM Cartridge Trays
Lee Auto Prime
Lee Case Length Guage/Trimmer
RCBS Reamer/Chamfer (De-burring) Tool
1/4" Hand Drill for holding cases while trimming and deburring
RCBS Plastic Calipers to measure case length
Lee hand Operated Primer Pocket Cleaner
Imperial Case Lube for outside of cases
Lee Case Lube for inside of case necks
Franklin Quick and EZ Case Tumbler
I was going to research a little better press. One with compound cam action for more power for less effort.
Maybe a more advanced way to measure powder and a faster way to add powder to the cases.
Maybe a better case trimming tool.
Any thoughts will be taken to heart so give me your ideas.
