I hear ya -- I'm in my garage too. I've been trying to convince my wife to let me take over space in the so-called spare room. However the thought of searching for dropped primers in deep carpet isn't too appealing.


Fill the primer tubes over the bathtub. That way they can't roll away and can easily be picked up, or washed safely away.

The woman in the picture fills the entire tub, how does that work?   ::)

So THAT'S what she was doing!  She was filling her primer tub!

With this "bathing equipment", even Mr. Sasquatch would take more then two baths per year.

I'm now leaning to the lee classic turrett. Price seems right. And.... i have about 1000 9mm cases and 700 .45 acp cases waiting for attention. Plus some .223.
HI Ya, I have both; a Lee Pro 1000 and two Dillons. The Lee owner started me back when Obama locked up all the ammo by scaring everyone. Now the Lee sits on a top shelf. I have canibalized all the dies and powder charger. It is a major pain to use compared to the Dillons. Go Dillon, you wont go back. RL550B or Basic 550. I bought my first one on eBay. Both have been upgraded since then,  but worked for cheap until I felt better about investing.
Mazel Tov,

Much obliged,

The Pro 1000 is different than the Classic Turret Press.
