We also primer pocket uniform with a Sinclair and also flash hole with a Lyman chucked in the portable drill.

Most of that gear isn't required either.

.222 Lee Loader will make very good ammo.

Think the Oz Roo shooting mob killed legions with ammo made off the old Simplex press and dies which couldn't full length size (wonder how their tallies stack up to the NZ deer cullers... )
