    It looks like this, it makes working with short cartridges easier.

    huh interesting.

    I thought he was talking about the adapters needed to use "new" (standard) shell holders with very old presses, but one of my presses is a pretty old Lyman Spartan and it uses standard shell holders so I was confused.

    Well, if I could get a set of 223 rcbs dies, that would complete the kit.
    I found a 3 die set of rcbs 308, from when I switched to redding dies
    I have a powder measure he can borrow.

    And there still is availible bras prep centers with military crimp removers.

    I have a set of 45 colt Lee dies, and à rcbs 243 case micrometer

    Ive been trying to pick up stuff to start reloading for 6 months. Got most of the tools and components. Got to build a bench and set it all up. Its been hard to find for sure. Primers being the biggest hurdle, but I have managed to get a few to start.
    Ill be using a Rock chucker
    Going to load 223,6.8, 300BO, 260,7mm08, and 308 for now

    The wood bench at harbor freight is a good starting point for a bench.
    Solid top, 4 drawers, all wood, no wood by products or fillers.

    This is what it looks like with a few modifications for deployment.

    I have some (probably a few hundred, maybe 500, going to check) 250? grain cast and lubed .45 bullets for the .45 colt I would probably willing to trade/sell. I don't load for the .45 colt.

    I also have a few thousand of 200 and 230 grain .45 auto cast bullets (some lubed and some coated), I might sell or trade for the right stuff.
