The hardest part is getting the scale accurate and repeatable. I found that a beam scale is out of the question and I set my charge master (scale only) inside the truck with a clear plastic container covering it. I am not gonna get as accurate as making them on my bench, but gets me in the ball park. Help a lot when testing new components, but for very fine tuning they are stuck to the bench. I guess I could pre measure the charges, just have to figure something out for storage of different charge weights. Having pre measured charges would also cut down a lot of equipment that needs to be taken to the range, probably could fit everything in my range bag.I like that Wassman. With my bolt gun right now I load up different loads of 5 rds each and drive 10 mins to shoot. Any changes I have to drive home and repeat process!! Sucks

Ya something like that would do. I think tiny corks is the way to go. I will have to look around and see what I can find.So? Preload your casings and cork them for the ride. Do your seating at the range. Get creative on your corking methods... think outside the box. For example, if you don't wanna buy a bunch of corks (literally), use a strip of leather to cover a row of filled cases in an ammo box... some foam to compress (ensuring the seal) on top of it when the lid is closed... and a rubber band to keep the lid closed. No?
All the neighborhood kids sobbing as they discover their pop guns no longer have ammo.Ya something like that would do. I think tiny corks is the way to go. I will have to look around and see what I can find.
Your range looks familiar…..Is that pc. of .458S brass in the grass?Here is a pic of the private range setup. Very nice to charge and seat at the range for on the fly adjustments. Saves a lot of time for load development, plus no pulling bullets. The main bench is way too messy for a pic.

Pitbull will you give us some more info on your bench? Like is the Kobalt box sitting below the bench or is the top of it a part of the bench? And what is your length with the wooden part and the tool box also? That is a pretty cool idea. And I am needing to re-work the way my little shop is laid out.
Thank you.........it's still too small..........lolVery nice I like!
