Very nice set up Lloyd!  For all the calibers I load I need to get a few presses set up and left for the most used rifles.  I just can't keep up with 6 kids shooting and the seventh one that is starting on 22LR.  DP

I use one of the lock and loads with a case feeder for just 223. The other one with a case feeder is used for lg pistol like 44mag 45 colt 41 mag 45acp ect. The extra measue behind it is just for 45acps and its set and ready to go. There shorter so it would take aditional time adusting the measue. The one without the case feeder is used for 308s, linebaughs, 444 and 4570 and 50ak. Ive got two extra measure bottoms one set for the linebaughs and one for the 4570 lenght cases and the one on it is set for 308s. Ive got 14 extra powder measure inserts other then the ones that came with the 4 meausres that i keep set in specific powder and charge weights i use often. This makes the hornady by far the fastest presses ive owned to swap calibers and loads on . The 55o dillon is used for small primers stuff. 22 hornet 40 sw and 32 mag and the star is set up for 38 specials. Id like to eventually either buy one more lock and load without a case feeder or another 55o to do hunting rilfle loads 250 sav 257 rob 243 o6 ect on but for now those are done on the single stage presses. I use the single stage hornady mostly with the dillon trimmer to trim 223 and 308 brass but if i could pick up an old 450 dillon cheap i could make a more effeicient set up for that. But for now the wife is allready cringing every time she walks out there. Shes been real good about bitching though. She even bought me the big tool box in the picture. I guess she knows im better off out there then in the bar.

I know what you mean dp. My 23 year old son never showed much interest in shooting till he went to the range with me with a couple ars. Hes shot up 1500 rounds of my 223s in the last 2 weeks.

Looking great. I think the only time mine ever looked remotely close was right after I finished my bench.  ;D

I had the same issue on ammo with my daughter, then after she burned through a couple hundred rounds of premium loaded hunting ammo, I had her purchase the replacement components and load them back up. After that she learned what controlled fire meant. LOL

I really didn't mind the ammo usage, simply wanted her to know what all went into putting it all together, and that we had "hunting ammo" and "target ammo", her choice on which she wanted to shoot. Funny how quickly they can learn some things when it hits them in the pocket.
