Dillon 550 light tip

[Trigger]

One of the BezosMart Christmas flash sales was for the Streamlight AAA penlight. I bought them as stocking stuffers. I had one left over.

The other day I was reloading 6ARC on my Dillon 550, and had an idea.

Use the Streamlight as a press light. One rubber band later and:

That's brilliant. No really!

Good idea, looks simple enough.

Ive seen lights made specifically for reloading use, they are kinds cool, but do cost quite a bit more. The streamlight of course can be used besides on the press.

I use three different presses. After using an old flexible desk light, I moved on to Inline Fab. When I switch presses on the bench, I plug the lights in and go to work.

That's a clever idea Trigger.

I used a clip-on flexible book light duct taped on my 550 for a number of years.

I went to one of the InlineFabs about 3 years back and like it. But I like the way you think!

If you look closely at the first picture, you can see the string of LEDs stuck to the inside of the press frame. With the power supply and cord, it was just too cumbersome to use and work around. This flashlight was a quick fix. not permanent, but handy in a pinch.
