My RCBS Jr has primer dust permanently coating the green paint, welded on by time. I'd break out my pic of my RL 450 Dillion, but I don't wanna show off.

Its a photo I took years ago when I installed it. And I have a vacuum under the table that removes any dust from de-capping. I reload in my ACed reloading room. There is no grime or dust anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
