I bought a multi pack of sharpie markers... I write the data on a piece of paper and corrispond it to a color of sharpie. I then color the primer with the sharpie. If all the cartridges fall out I still know which loads are which.

Yet another solution for static in your powder funnel. Put a few small nuts and bolts in the funnel then shake it around a bit. Presto, no more static!

Thanks guys. The barrel table is now just for tinkering on the guns. The new bench is about 80% done, built from salvaged oak pallets at work. Heavy and so hard it eats planer knives in short order. I could only make it 60" long anticipating the move into the old farm house.
My wife wants to lay claim to the barrel table. Good excuse to build a new bench.
The room is not so much set up to make a huge amount of loads in short time as to entertain company and also have a place to set all my junk.
The new bench may be more to your liking.
This may be OT a little bit but this is the best way I've found to hide your scabbards and ammo if you put a room in your basement. It is on casters and rolls out. The door on the bottom opens up right to the back and you just toss the gun scabbards in there.
It is a great way to keep the locked up ammo out of sight.

Awesome work Noel! Looks great!
My variation of a grinder stand that I had sitting in the original box for the last 5 years that was never used. I have not quite decided where the feet should be positioned yet. It is quite stable the way it is, quite comfortable while sitting as well. Both the top and bottom can be swiveled. The water tray is a great place for the spent primers to drop into. As this one has mounting holes in the feet, I can mount it to a 3/4" piece of plywood to make it more stable if needed.
I only got my grinder stand on sale at Canadian Tire 3-4 months ago, but 5 years...
If I may make a suggestion: drill a hole in a water bottle cap for spent primer tube, and drop primers into an empty water bottle. This way you won't have to handle spent primers, and just re-cap & toss the bottle when it is full.
Yup, 5 years. Divorce and moving around until I found the right place that gave me room to set up my gun room. Sucks, but it is all falling into place now.
As for the spent primers, my little shop vac works wonders for cleaning out the well.

anyone have ideas on rcbs pro 2000 powder linkage that keeps hanging up on the linkage and one of the bolts , it seems if i snug it all up nice an tight it keeps hanging up constantly but if i loosen off the hand tighten knob it only does it every 20th round or so,thus trowing a inconsistant charge. any help anyone??
I don't have much clearance around my bench and got sick of snagging myself on dies in the press when I tried to walk by it.
I got a 4" length of 1" white PVC pipe and an old tennis ball. A goodly-sized slice in the tennis ball allowed it to be pushed over one end of the pipe. No need for glue or anything.
I now just drop it over the die and the problem goes away. It fits like it was made for the dies.

it's catching on the bolt that goes in the powder trow unit so i would have no way of tighting a round headed bolt ,it's even grabing the throw units side the odd time, if there was some way of keeping the throw unit from twisting from the pull of the linkage it would fix it.
