Little test run of my minimal "Skeeter" loading kit

or better described as my work desk kit. Something to tinker with and shed stress on occasion. I do not have that much experience with the Lyman 310 tool but found it pretty well thought out some ages before I even existed. This is proof you do not need that much to load a little. It would be pretty easy to do a hunnerd or two at a normal pace. It's not really strenuous at all. The .45 ACP ammo tray made a perfect .357 load block.

It does not FL size though and I need to check for chambering ability. I GUESS the best thing to do is to FL size in a normal press and dedicate that brass to one gun I plan on using? I'll just have to see.

Don't forget the Lee tool either...

I made fun of the Lee tool until I bought one at flea market for 5 bucks. I love that thing. I sit at night watching TV and sizing or flaring pistol brass.

Yes! I have a small collection of them.

I can’t whack on stuff with a hammer at my work desk but I can use the nutcracker. Never really played with them.

I usually try to prep the press up to ready to load.

I either resize and deprime then expand and set aside or, deprime, tumble then resize and expand. Then all I have left is to prime, charge and seat/crimp bullet.
