reloading bench upgradeds and fixes.

So i wasn't able to add all the tools as of yet for what i wanted to reload, kinda ran short on money but its gonna be a process, parts here and there. but here is the main reloading bench cleaned up a bit with shelving and more stuff on the walls and off my reloading area, i did finally secure the bench to the wall with long screws so its going no where and the machine doesn't wiggle and runs a bit smoother


Here is beneath the reloading bench some brass a 40lb box of Blasting media when i run low of my current supply drop-shipped by Grainger from Drillspot.com


a few sorting buckets and storage of brass

now to whats on the bench :) 
Lyman Case Prep Xpress
Hornady Lock N Load Sonic Cleaner 2L, works pretty well, unless theres lots of corrosion then u just toss the brass which is coming up  :)
Lee Reloader Single Stage Press picked up with a universal decapping die and a couple extra pins had to make a few modifications to the bench to get this one to sit properly and not stop every couple times.

underside of the Lee Reloader single stage press hole for the primers to drop out of need to build a tray that will catch them and move them to a different location so they dont fall to the floor which will be coming in the near future.
Lyman Pro Magnum Turbo Tumbler 1200, works pretty well after i just now use it for polishing brass less energy consumption (1-2 hour polish run) then letting it try to run 8hrs cleaning brass and getting diddly for shininess.

this is my bad brass/ brass trimmings, drop funnel drops down into...
this bucket

 only a few ive had to toss cause of corrosion and just far too dented or crushed necks and any general damage that cant be repaired
and now we have my few add-ons to Dillons XL650 that seem to work pretty well, when i first started i lost 7 unused primers flying out of the drop tray here not cool, so i remedied that and started on the fix for the spent primer drop tube without modifying anything on the machine itself
i haven't had a snag or any primer that wont drop to this tube, if i get a roll on like depriming 1500 cases the tube does tend to fill up but a quick shake will stop that, planning on taping a straight pipe or rod at the bottom where the primers fall into the bucket below so theres no chance for catch and build up.
had to install a stainless steel roller on a bolt so that the hose wouldn't interfere with any of the other function of the machine like knock off the completed round box or get caught up in the handle area.
and that's where all my primers sit till I'm ready to melt them down gonna be test firing up the furnace that was built up a while ago see if it can still stand the heat and then torch some metal down
