I can't decide which was funnier ... "hung himself a few weeks ago" ... or "on his Facebook page, I s/b all set!"

Might need to upgrade that bench. Laminate over 4x6s on top of the bench frame might not take the stress from your press for very long. Just sayin'. And the view out the window and the stereo under the bench - dangerous distractions. You'll blow yourself up! Better install some flourescent lighting and use a digital powder scale. Yeah, that's the ticket.

4x6's were left-over from the ramp I built to move my safe ... next time, I'm payin' someone! Image

I DO need a new stereo ... 'er at least an amp ... every once in a while, it cuts out ... powers itself down ... I gotta turn the volume down a skosh, then turn it back on. Image

I've got the mother of all digital scales ... only friggin' Dillon thing I got left ... well, 'sides the calendars, 'course! :mrgreen:

Aw hell ... here's the side unit ...

Hmmm ... I thought the other calendar showed up ... it's on the other side, anyhow. Image

... BTW, am I the only one who opted to leave 'em both on May? Image

Need me to get ya a tissue? Image

I wasn't concerned when I got $75 off at the register at Cabela's ... and a 1,000 free XTP's, each! :mrgreen:

When one of these breaks, I'll be sure to try a 550 or 650 ... whichever one actually auto-indexes. :roll:

Nobody. Hence this thread. Besides, round containers eat up too much space on a square shelf.

Looks like a Redding powder measure on your LnL AP. Does it auto-actuate, or do you throw charges manually?
