The brackets I make to hang bins on the side of the Strong Mount. After putting the brackets for the bins on I found the powder throw to low and made the new bracket to raise it for access. Dillon make the brackets for the bins I had to pass on the price for them. The last two pictures are before the modifications and after.

    Emmett,
    As you know I am a fan of your work. Before you repainted the press, how did you strip it and prep it for painting

    I made a solution of Simple Green, soap, water and boiled the press and still had some cleaning to due. Under he paint is a rough surface and it is the reason the thick paint is to cover the surface, these are really rough castings. I just sanded the areas that there was not paint and a real light sanding of the old paint and it does not look perfect, it is fine for me. If you take the coating off the rough casting will look like a dropping when you paint it.

    Justjump,

    The Dillon 550B is in the shop with a crack at the stop behind the pin. With the Dillon being fixed it has given some time to bring the RCBS back to life for decapping, primer pocket swedging and rifle ammo duties.
