  1. Agreed that Ikea table looks sketchy for what you're talking about. Smallest and lightest thing I've put a press on (Dillon xl650 w. case feeder/Inline Fab. QD mount) is one of these https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-45-in-W-x-36-in-H-2-Drawer-Hardwood-Work-Bench/1000372217 Not too much of a footprint difference if I'm reading the Ikea table dimensions right. Home reloading doesn't have to be filthy with heavy fumes; but expect to be working with and cleaning up stuff like grease, oil, case lube spray, tiny bits of brass, powder grains, bullet coating material and lead (depending on what types of bullets you load), etc. getting on the press and bench.
  2. +1 for them. Also have bought in recent years from elitereloading.com. Elite's prices can be higher than other, but I've been pleased with the consistently low % of crimped, crap, or other cals in their mixes.
  3. Laying flat and upside down on top shelves in a basement gear/reloading storage room. I want that shelf space for other crap, so am going to wall hang them with computer headset hangers or coated hooks like Matt1 posted.
  4. Update: Only worn to a few matches so far but think they're worth it. The ball/socket adjustability deal is really nice.
  5. I recommend these https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-2909260/mens-urban-pipeline-ripstop-cargo-shorts.jsp?color=Oh Khaki&prdPV=7 from Kohls. Good pockets that don't stick out. Hit above the knee (I'm 6'03" ymmv). Stretchy waistband for holding tucked shirts and minimizing your man handles. High quality zipper facilitates quick leaks. Light material and inner mesh are nice during those summer matches when you're sweating your junk off. Dirt and crud wash out better than with cotton drawers.
  6. Not that one, but a guy brings a taller type to practice sessions sometimes. Good practice and fun as hell.

    Got mine!.....

    That is a @$%^#$&%*#%$ beautiful pic.
  8. Them: "Wat u do?" Me: "Competitive pistol shooting... USPSA." Them: "Wat that?" Me: "It's like putt putt golf courses, but with running and a pistol." Them: "Wat look like?" Me: "Search 'USPSA' on Youtube and click a few vids. Skip the ones featuring heavy mouth breathing and plumbers' cracks. Watch the ones with Ben Stoeger to develop your baller envy, and Taran Butler to find out where all the hot chicks that aren't at our clubs go."
  9. Seems I was a little hasty about them being enroute. On backorder 'til mid-Feb. D'oh!
  10. I prefer 135s or 124s. But my gun shoots 147s more accurately enough to matter, so that's what I use.
  11. Sorry don't have any pics. 5 gal buckets from Lowes or Home Depot for dirty. Clean in bigass ziplock bags. Those cheap locking lid bins are a great idea. One of these days I'll tear a bag, brass will roll under shelves while I cuss a lot, and I'll go buy them.
  12. Got the old type from Dillon last Oct for $140. It's been good. Never varied more than 0.1. Sturdier than the old other brand I had that crapped out. Haven't seen or heard anything about the new ones yet. Nice display and hingey cover.
  13. I switched from CR Speeds to Racers and like the Racers retention, adjustability, and sturdiness better. That said, a box is enroute with Race Masters in it.
  14. Are you me? Same exact story and final setup. That MBF funnel is the shizzle.
  15. Personal preference is DAA belts and pouches (Racers) over CR Speed. Some guys I shoot with grabbed Shooters Connection belts. They like 'em and they cost less. That stock holster hanger works alright but you'd be glad you got a BOSS. It's stable as hell and adjusts nicely. I dig the big screen on top of the Comp. Electronics pocket pro II. Easy for solo live or dry fire practice. Cool you're getting back into it, have fun!
  16. Inline Fabrication's ultra mounts are stable as hell. Only fiddled with the Dillon strong mount at other peoples' houses and they seemed great. No worries with those types as long as the bench is sturdy and stable.
  17. Also a 650: Machined/clamped-down tool head; Redding dual-ring sizer/decapper; Dillon powder with MBF funnel (love this thing); Redding comp seater/micrometer; Dillon crimp.
  18. Ah, so it's YOU! Seriously though I agree with this. Bigass bags of once-fired are the way to go. I'll pick up my own after a solo practice but don't grab randos much anymore unless someone left a pile that looks good. So much is trash or in the what the hell category.
  19. I toss any notoriously crap head stamps, steel pretending to be brass, crimped if I don't feel like dealing with it, too Glocked, damaged, etc, but don't sort by head stamp. All go through a Redding dual-ring at stage one without any prior sizing.
  20. I did with a couple thousand to see if it mattered any vs. depriming after tumbling. Other than shinier pockets, nope. Drink it to absorb the essence of all the blown out 9 mjr brass I accidentally left in, for more explosive movement and speed.
  21. Dillon Terminator. It will impress you with it's reliability, and your bench's visitors with the matching blue aesthetics.
