It's also the only room that doens't have stuff strewn about and I can find everything right where I put it. but I digress.)

It takes a few extra minutes at setup the next time, but that doesn't bother me. Plus, I only have one powder measure and never know if I'll be loading pistol or rifle rounds next time. It just depends on what mood I'm in when I sit down to reload.

early last week I was loading .357, then Friday and last night I was loading .223.
