Now onto F.L. sizing and neck flaring some .45 Colt cases on the Lee turret.
Priming the Colt cases is next on the Co-ax.
Now to charge the Colt cases.
And finally, bullet seating and crimping on the Lee turret press.
My evaluation is pretty good! The new set-up is not too far off what I had before the re-do. The biggest change is having no flex in any press operation. Everything is as solid as a rock. No more press operations by feel. Another issue (really a first world problem though), is my chair. Because the presses are situated higher then before, I find my chair is too low. Just not comfortable operating the presses. So I ordered a taller one from Amazon. Should be here in a few days.
All in all, it feels terrific. I performed most operations today that I normally would do. I am back to cranking out precision cartridges for all of the 9 calibers I load.

All of that fancy stuff on the bench and still priming on the press???
Get a bench mounted primer and complete the process of entering the 21 century. lol
No really, it will simplify and speed up the mundane priming process considerably and you no longer have to fondle each primer individually like that.
