I have built me a " Range Box " W/ a LEE pro 1000 ( 80's model 3 hole'r ) holds all I need to reload at the range . Just set the dies at home on the bench , for each cal. has powder measure , digital scale ,primers , 1# powder, all the components , only weights 30# or less ( depending ) in a box 12"D x13"H,X 21" wide.
