Portable Reloading Setup

[Hamo]

I have a Lee turret press, digital scales, powder thrower, trickler... the usual kind of setup for reloading. I Shoot a lot at the local range so like to have my reloading setup at home. However, I visit my fathers farm which is the perfect place to practice and get some load development in, but its a 2 hour drive away. I usually reload a hundred or so rounds for him whilst im there. I'm currently just using G clamps to attach the press to whatever table I can find, and its a pretty clunky setup. A few things have been dented and smashed along the way by the press smashing into it in the car (and I pack carefully so was quite annoyed)

Does anyone have a good setup they could post of how they travel with their reloading gear? My gut feeling at the moment is to make some sort of plywood box for the press which houses everything. No idea about designs though

quite pleased.

Get Boyd Allen to post pictures of range reloading set ups. Some neat stuff there.

If you "pack carefully", maybe you need to drive slower.

will purdy much pack all that stuff, with a few old bath towels and a couple Crown Royal sacks thrown in strategically to isolate/separate items.

A HARREL combo press like has been mentioned. A way to throw or measure some powder and your off. And a toolbox to put it in. With a duffel for powder and bullets

I did the accurate shooter workforce 125 setup. Works great. I might size my 30-06 on my home bench, but does everything smaller just fine.

I start up by prepping all my brass at home in my free time. New Brass, Run it thru a Body Die, Uniform my Primer Pockets, Flash Hole Uniform / Debur, Then size all my brass to the same size. Then Chamfer and Deburr

I throw all my testing powder charges in plastic test tubes for transport to range and mark them. Plastic test tubes can be found on Ebay really cheap.

I carry all my dies in a MTM Die Box.

I made a compact reloading bench look like the one Sinclair sell and added a RCBS Accessory Base Plate. Therefore I can mount my press and also other accessories. The wood I bought it a Lowes Item #17739 11.25-in x 48-in Stair Tread. Got the plans and sizes using google.
