Produced more empty brass!
Hmmm got my 223 brass prepped, primed and ready to crank out a couple of test loads for my range trip this week.
25.5 grains of Varget with a 55 grain FMJ-BT, should be a good plinker/blaster recipe from what I have read.
Wednesday 390 rounds of 5.56, Hornady v-max pushed by 24.3 IMR 4895.
Friday 550 rounds of 45 ACP 185 gr RN OVER 5.3 gr Win 231.
Now I need something to shoot.

I bought a Lee Classic Turret Press. Now I need to decide where to mount it on my bench. My bench is 8ft long with a wall on both ends. I don't want it in the middle, but it seems since I'm right handed, it should go on the right side somewhere.

HB, did you read my comment in the PWT?
I think I put mine about 1/3 from the far right of my bench (which is only 5-6ft long). Perfect location, I can still put stuff on the right side of it and it keeps the full left side open enough for powder, bullets, etc.
At some point you will move your press, so pick a place that works for you, mount it to a piece of plywood or another base and use some c clamps to hold it in place. Once you find the place that works best, you can make it more permanent. Eventually you will want a mount that brings your press up to a good working height.I just got an Ultramount from inlinefabrication.com for my Dillon 550B. They make a mount for the Lee turret - http://inlinefabrication.com/collections/lee/products/lee-classic-turret
Dan at inlinefabrication.com made the whole process painless. Send him an email and tell him what you want and he will send you an invoice. Shipping was fast and everything that was needed was included.

I am definitely happy with the 550. Now I need more tool heads and caliber conversions
Yeah, I think I'm going to have to settle for a temporary mount until I finish the room that its in and I can mount it more permanently in a spot that makes sense.
