Ok, ok... Here is a pic. Only had a minute and should have taken many more to bore you with, but we'll have to be happy with this for the moment.

That's a Lee Classic Turret press on the right, my main press for pistol rounds. I can do a couple hundred rounds an hour when I get going with it. I happened to be reloading 9mm last night. I have another turret ring with its own powder measure set up for .45. Usually the only tweaks I need to do when switching are fiddle with seating depth if I've changed from one .45 bullet to another, and verify or modify the powder volume.

You can't see it in this pic, but there are three shelves. The top one has my other presses and a couple of other things that I don't need to have to hand all the time.

Tonight I will try to set up the Breechlock Challenger press with the Uniflow powder measure. I have high hopes for this combo. Hand measuring powder for .308 rounds takes too much time. I'm hoping the Uniflow can handle relatively large amounts of powder.

If I get that done, I'll take another couple pics.

Anybody using a Uniflow with Lee equipment? I bought an aluminum adapter that screws in to the bottom of the Uniflow and press fits with into the powder through die on the Lee. It was just a couple bucks on Ebay and looks like it will speed things up in a big way.

BTW, the bench shares a corner in my woodworking shop, so while I have lots of tools around, I really don't have all that much room. I have big tools!
