I used to work for a company that had a Co-Ax press mounted on a bench for the employees to use. Loved that press, should have bought one when I replaced my Reloader Special with a Rock Chucker a few years ago. :( There also was a Belding & Mull powder measure available that I used to load 1,000’s of 7-08 ammo for handgun silhouette shooting. Best manual powder measure ever I believe.

I've still got my old Belding & Mull powder measure I bought back in the late 60s. As you said, it was accurate. Eventually moved up to the RCBS micrometer measuring system. That old B&M cranked out a lot of rounds tho. Still in the bottom drawer ( just in case ), LOL

I got the wood/coal burner all fired up to heat the basement and my room. After getting it nice and warm I remembered today is my birthday and I decided I am not going to do anything all day. When my wife gets home I will spend my birthday evening with her. :D

I worked up a good 9mm plinking load with HP-38 and some 115gr DG Bullets. These shot very good through an AR9 and a S&W M&P Shield.
