[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 726471, member: 25383"] One thing I've learned over the years is that we all tend to over complicate the job. I almost bought a Hood press when they first hit the market years ago, and that would have been the one press that could have done it all at the range for me. But the press have never been a serious issue for me anyway, yet the Hood allows me to use the inline dies as well as the threaded dies. I did build a Forster clone that was a little smaller and made of a Magnesium / aluminum alloy that I found in a junk pile. Gave it away in a trade and have cussed myself many times over doing that. Was still too big for my needs anyway. Still worked as well as the Forster in 90% of the uses. I also have a small RCBS Partner but never took it to the range. It'd probably work OK for threaded dies and small cases. Plus I tend to reload the same five cases over and over at the range. I like the Harrell measurer even though the bottles are much smaller than OEM bottles. It also fits in the cigar box better. I used to take a tool box with me to the range, but also found that I rarely opened it, so I started leaving it home and never missed it. I've been kinda thinking about building my own range car that will have a shelf built ontop it that I can reload or clean rifles off of, but have not gone to far with the ideas yet. You get too much stuff and your right back to square one again. Plus they attract attention at the range. gary [/QUOTE]
