Yes, you got it, and the Lyman bullet sizer/lubricator too.
I got that old press about 1955, I was just a kid in high school. It has put out a lot of rounds. |

Let's see that photo get over to "pictures of your reloading bench/equipment". I like the old equipment but photos are far and few between.

That Lyman M5 is one of the most sensitive beam scales ever sold. I keep trying to snag one on Ebay but the price always goes stupid high

Finally able to post a photo (I think). Herter's Super Model 3 also present on far end of bench constructed with 2x4s, 4x4s, and 2x6s.

I do not know how the Lyman D-7 measures up to (pun intended) to the M5, but I have a D-7 I purchased new back in the 1970s for $17.15 from the Ft. Riley Rod & Gun club. It still has the price sticker on the scale itselp plus I have the box. No intentions on selling it, but I am curious how it compares.

Most of these scales look like they were manufactured by Ohaus and just painted different colors for different company's. I have a old RCBS 502 that reacts to a single stick of extruded but may end up with a entire collection of these old scales before it is done. I have fell in love with the old throw and trickle method for accuracy and have my Chargemaster up for sale locally

Nice clean setup. My bench was so full of equipment I'm almost glad I had to give up reloading and switched over to all .22s.
Moving to assisted living is no fun. |

Gads, that old Herter's press is a beast! Looks awesome. Regarding beam scales, I have a Ohaus [RCBS] 10-10 that I've had since '78/'79. Works. Like hounddawg said, Chargemaster ain't no more. Old school, I suppose.

Jamaica, I have been told all of my dogs were hounds from hell and or Alabama Leg Dogs. I have made an effort to work on my friends attitudes but nothing has worked. I placed a sign on my front door; problem, it was written in Latin. I then added another sign stating; Alabama Leg Dog rules strictly enforced. The sign looses it's effect when it has to be explained.
And now? My wife has a cat. F. Guffey |

At this point I have no dogs. There are three cats that hang out around here. They can come in the garage and have the run of the outbuildings and yard. I do not let them in the house. I give them some dry pelleted cat food in a dish. These cats do a pretty good job of keeping the mice and gophers under control.

Yes, cats are perfect for looking after the bench and keeping other critters away.

Very photogenic Orange Marmalade. I used to have a cat that would watch everything I did like as though he was the supervisor.

heh I have a orange tabby that my last dog adopted before he passed. That cat and dog were inseparable When I had to put old Jack the wonder dog down the cat adopted me refusing to believe that I did not like cats. Ten years later the cat follows me wherever I am in the house and shop. I have to admit cats are a lot easier to care for than dogs and make pretty good company

Re: Road Clam, "Don't drop that press on your foot".
Yes, did that once which reminded me not to do it again.

Yes, just about. That's the famous Herter's Super Model 3, but you probably recognized that. Everyone should have one, especially for rifle reloading.

" "Don't drop that press on your foot"."
That is why we bolt it to the bench!
