Good idea Ben. Only thing I would add would be a reloading manual he could refer to when nobody is around to ask. Oh, and maybe the formula for Ben's Red.
Reloading on the " GO " !

I was thinking the loading manual would help with actual loading procedure rather than load listings. Something like a Lyman Cast bullet Handbook or maybe a Speer manual, for reference.
I wanted to set up a 20mm ammo can for that but my wife found a plastic case for me. I stuck my nose up but after checking it out i set up temporarily (2 years ago).
It's not very impact resistant but had a good hinge and though i don't trust the latches they do lock in tight. I run a adjustable double D-ring belt thru handle and around the case for travel. I travel doing construction and it gave me something to do and we had ammo for the weekend or when ever i get back. Here it is partially ready to go.
I keep components in a another small box but do store primers in this.
My apologies for reviving an old post, BUT this ties in directly with a current thread AND it is something many could benefit from.
May I nominate this for placement in "Threads of Note" for those reasons?
Ben pointed me to this today, and now I remember having seen it - before I started thinking this seriously about putting such a kit together. I know we all have our own ideas on such a thing, but Ben's setup is well thought out and comprehensive, which would serve as a great basis for anyone else to customize to suit their own ideas. Right off the bat, Ben answered several questions I had about Lee's "Breech-Lock" system and the addition of the Lyman ram-prime answered resolved the dilemma of whether to put my only hand-prime unit in the kit.

I have a 310 set up for .22 Hornet. I need to go see Dad and get him to show me how to use it.
Funny about my Dad, he's 86 and getting foggier by the day. We went to a small gun show a few months ago and I was looking at a 310 set up and he explained to me how it works and what you needed to do and pointed out a part that was missing all in very great detail, but he can't remember who came to see him the day before. Weird how the human mind works sometime.
I did get a Pacifc "Pak Kit" for .218 Bee, haven't really looked at it but was intrigued. They didn't get real popular, it seems.
