Nino...

I used to collect Lyman 310 tools but I have never seen one for 6.5 Grendel. Found my old 310 tool catalog & it shows the only dies for 6.5mm ammo are for 6.5 Jap & 6.5 Mannlicher. I think there was one for .264 Win Mag too but I don't see it in the catalog. IIRC, I may have had one in my collection.

Do you still find 310 tools & tool parts in Italy?

Hello Old Bob.
Yes, I can find some more kits in Italy. I have kits for .308, .38/357, .223 (that I use also for .222) and 2 handles. I use this kits directily on the range becouse the italian law do not permit to carry many ammo...but I can carry powders and primed brass...
But...there Is a kit that Is adaptable to the 6,5 Grendel?
Thanks again.

I do not know if the LEE hand press is available in Italy, with ine you can fully reload at the range with one including sizing and priming your brass there. Advantage is using standard dies you would use on any press, Hornady Forrester, RCBS, Redding, LEE.....

I also like the 310 but the Lee is handy for other calibers than what can be found in the dies for the 310. I have a 310 for the 45-70. I have even loaded paper patched lead bullets over black powder with it for the 1885 Winchester.

Nino,

I might jump in here with another possible solution. Put your normal press on a saw horse and transport it to the range with the legs folded (this is what i do).

I have pistol & rifle sets with both large & small steel & aluminum handles (Lyman calls them Tongs). I also have a Lyman/Ideal Tru-Line Jr turret reloading press for 310 dies. I used them mostly for reloading black powder cartridges. I do have a .264 Win Mag die in my collection (Can't find a reference to it anywhere, but I have one!) & a 6.5 Jap too. I only have the neck sizer die for the 6.5 Jap. No neck expander, primer or bullet seater dies. I have a primer seater for the .264 Win Mag but no expander or bullet seater.

Hello Klem.
Thanks for your idea, It Is so good but...but...but...Inuse normally a so heavy RCBS RCII plus the heavy of the dies, of the tablet, od the rest, of the Sand bag...I must to use a track!!!
In Italiy is not as in USA (wonderful and lucky country) but we shooters must to have a low profile...I do not Say It it Is clear...
A hand Press or a 310 toos I can put in the backpack far of prying eyes...
Thanks again

Interesting to see how others "get it done"

Would the range owners/operators mind if you left the reloading equipment there, and only brought supplies as needed to reduce your carry amount, while having better reloading equipment available to you when needed?

Nino,

Mmm, not too heavy really. Here's my settup. I unbolt the blue Dillon handgun press and fold the horse up with the Lyman single-stage to go to the range. Plus the weigh scales come too with a Li-ion battery pack. You can always put a blanket over it in the back. If stopped by the Police use the horse as a distraction - throw it out the window laughing as you crash through the barricade .

Seriously, I use the horse in the shed at home to do all my loading while sitting on a swivel chair. Turn the horse around when loading handgun. Works for me and just an idea.

Zenes' idea of leaving your gear at the range is a good one. Bench resters here have sheds at the range where they leave their gear and lock up.

Hello to all.
Yes, I can leave my loading gears at the range but...I frequent 4 ranges and anyone Is fare from the other...
But I can ask at the manager of the range close to me It I can leave basic gears at his range...good idea...
Thanks
