[QUOTE="rlipson, post: 51684, member: 296"] sr90, Thanks, I was going to put a little fridge in there to go with my TV, but my wife was afraid I'd never come out... On the presses, I started out with the Hornady Pro-jecter progressive press at the far right of my bench, because of course I thought that was a must have. I pretty much leave it set up for adding powder and seating bullets for my .223 prairie dog rounds. As I learned more about ACCURATE reloading, I realized there isn't much that a progressive press is good for except pistol loading. I rely heavily on the CoAx. I wouldn't be without one, really. The other is an older Hornady O press that I inhereted from a friend. I have it mounted to a board so I can C clamp it or store it. My kids like to help me load, so my younger ones de-cap using that press with a universal de-capper. I also use it for 45-70 work since you have to flip the universal shell holder on the CO-AX. Not hard to do, but I'm lazy. I'm intrigued witht using the C press for the idea of making a portable powder/bullet seating rig for using at the range. Got the idea from the "bench tips" on the CED chrono site. One thing I really like is the Midway gun cradle set up on the WorkMate..it's in the center of the room. It gives me a place to work on a rifle, clean it, etc. without taking up bench space. Plus, I can work my cleaning rod from squarely behind the gun, at waist level. This helps ensure that I'm not bowing the rods. Roger [ 01-18-2002: Message edited by: rogerinneb ] [/QUOTE]
