Hello all
Just wanted to show what a little time can do if you need some extra light for your press. For $13 and what I had laying around the house to extend the wires due to how many lights I used.

I don't think that is for me. I might be able to see what I am doing. Scores will drop..But if one needed to see that might be the answer,, Tommy Mc
 
Yep, These are plenty bright, Most of the time, I leave the overhead lights off to keep from attracting too many bugs, when I got the garage door open ( most of the time )
These are hard-wired, so I had to mount a driver, and mount a box under the bench that turns them on.

Why 3 different single stage presses? Im still kinda new, thanks

One for decapping, one for sizing, one for seating, one for forming stuff, one for small and one for large etc

Lots of different reasons, maybe he just likes to tinker. Once you do this for awhile you may like to expand your set up and test out different stuff. Just an extension of the hobby for some. I doubt I ever run multiple presses but I think it would be great if one day I could afford the space and equipment to spread out like that.
 
I use the same lights for my Hornady progressive. They may a huge difference. Would not reload without them once you have used them.

Well the big'n in the middle does my 50BMG, so that's a deal in itself. The other RC IV's kind of get alternated. When I am testing new bullets, I will leave the micro-die seater in the press until I am done with set-up .. One of them often just sits with a Redding decapping die in it,
