Hillbilly SDB hack. Slotted 1.5" angle works well for Akro bins, and the prefabbed holes line up with the accessory holes on the back of the Inline Fab Ultramount. Also learned you can hang one Akro bin off the side of another. Probably wouldn't want a bunch of weight in it, but a bin full of brass ready to load should be just fine. This also rotates the workstation left, which is where you stand when operating the SDB (assuming you're not wired backwards).
3ft of slotted angle and some hardware is ~$15, and only needed about 10", so I've got some extra for other similar setups maybe on the Rockchucker or 750. We'll see.

Dillon offers one now, and it's cheaper than the MBF. It just hit, and first batch has been delivered. I think they go full live very soon, but you can get in on pre-order.

I will get one soon. How do you like it?
How accurate is your powder measure? Mine throws about .3 up or down. Drives me crazy.

I think the bullet feeder is a game changer, I don't regret buying the double alpha one but when I get the next one it will probably be a Dillon just because.
I think powder charges per Dillon is +/- .1, if you are getting more than that, you probably have a static issue or similar. It can also depend on the powder that you are using, some obviously meter better than others and are more consistent.

I used a dryer sheet to try and get as much static out as possible. H335, blc 2 223 are the worse.
What’s the model and barrel length of you 686?

Nice! I recently got a 686-1 with the 8 3/8” Barrel. I’m eventually going to load some 170 gr. for it.I’ve never had any luck with heavy bullets out of a 4 or 6 inch barrel.

Found a corner shelf that's about perfect, and repurposed a tall cabinet. I'm getting another table that's identical to the one the Dillons are on, and it'll go between the tall cabinet and the corner shelf on the left side of the room, and those two dressers will probably either go under the back two windows, or elsewhere in the building. That's TBD.
Rockchucker will go on that new table, and one more Dillon on the Dillon table. Making progress!

No, those are all ones my great grandpa found.
