Who makes the Primer Track Bearing Plate? I bought something similar, but have yet to install it.
What type of reloading press do you use?

I've used the $2 knobs from Ace Hardware for years. All of my powder measures stay with their tool heads so mostly set and forget.

Cool, does that fit right on the stock bolt head?
here is where I got mine from:

Yes, it does. The black ones are a little harder than the blue ones. My reloading shop was in the garage when we lived outside of Phoenix and it got a little warm
out there. The blue ones would get a little 'soft' LOL. Not an issue in my basement here in NC.- Thread starter

Great, that is the one I just ordered recently, but have yet to install. How do you like it?
Quick Disconnect for Dillon Powder Measure
Quick and tool-less removal and installation of Dillon Powder Measures. Replaces the original powder die clamp and screws for the the Dillon Precision Powder Measures. Easy to grip design. The powder measure will be able to rotate slightly with the Quick Disconnect unlike the original clamp...

They work well. I like that it is made in the US.

Thanks, but I was asking about the primer roller bearing.
Sorry, I thought that was what you were asking for in post 59. It's all good.
Hornady L-n-L progressive for pistol and blasting 5.56 ammo. And a single stage Lee cast press for precision rifle ammo.

Can you show us a pic of your Spar-T and All American Turret press for the edification of our members who are new to reloading and for posterity's sake?

This will big one of my biggest issues. I downsized from a 4 bed 2 story with over 2500 sq ft to a 2 bedroom flat with only 1600 sq ft in a gated community. it has an office/den so might be able to get some type of setup, but it will have to be stream lined and efficient.
I started with a compact set up due to space restrictions. I put together a tabletop which securely mounted to (yet easily removed from) a B&D Workmate.
Interesting. Any pics?

I tried the BD Workmate once long ago. It worked but was very wobbly. Perhaps the newer Workmates are more rigid now. Just remember that you will be putting a fair amount of leverage to your reloader as you use it, particularly fore and aft. The more rigidly it is mounted, the happier you will be.
I like it a lot, it makes it smoother. Both have thousands of rounds through it and never had an issue.
I also upgraded to a roller bearing under the indexing pawl, also much smoother.
It does make things easier and helps the process go more smoothly if its firmly mounted to the floor and/or wall. I made my bench out of 7/8" high density laminated particle board for the top, like counter top material, with a 2x4 frame braced around the bottom with 2x4's between each leg 10"s above the floor that I also use as a foot rest when sitting on the stool. The 2x4's are lag bolted to the concrete floor with steel brackets in my basement and the back support is bolted to the cement block wall.
Its pretty easy to have more than 100lb/ft in the arm of the press when full length sizing and if the neck expander collet ever gets stuck in the neck, you'll be glad its bolted to the floor lol.
There are many different ways of setting up a quick release system for all the tools you'll need and I've even seen a bench mounted to a wall on hinges so that when you lift it to set it up, the legs swing down and lock into place. When stored it lays flat against the wall. Very similar to this.

I use a 2 stage homemade press I got for $50 at a local gun store. Shell holders are held in place by set screws, which is really annoying if you reload more than 1 cartridge in one day.
Gotta upgrade myself to a regular manufactured one at some point, but this may be my designated 38 Special/357 Magnum setup once that happens. Pretty sure that's what the original owner/creator did with it.
