Not even the scales: an automatic powder measure. The whole kit is about
two feet high and packs into a foot or so diameter, clamps to any table edge
or desk. You want the powder measure, and just use the scales to calibrate
it: they are *slow* to use.

I can do 100 an hour with my kit: with perfectly legal (today) progressive
presses I know people who produce 1,000 an hour. (My gunsmith, who is also
one of the ten best IPSC shooters in the world, before you ask: enquiries to
Tim Gardner at Southern Target Masters)

In fact, the next move is up to him.
