Old RCBS single stage, RCBS powder measure and a beam scale. For those loads I didn't do big quantities so single is best. I have upgraded to a digital scale for future tasks.
As mentioned earlier my bench is primarily Red and Green. I use the RCBS beam scale to check my charges and think I may upgrade to a digital at some point, the real questions is will it be red or green...

Spent today and part of yesterday sanding and painting some old filing cabinets for reloading component storage. Reorganized the bench.

Looks good my man! Can't wait to have an area just like it at the new place.

To the right (not in the picture) is my cleaning/building bench and case cleaning area on two more benches.

I'm very thankful that my wife got us the reload equipment. I wasn't even aware there was an ammo shortage until I got talking with some guys at work who were complaining about the lack of ammo and the cost of ammo.

I definitely missed the boat on reloading so I'll wait until things return to normal and then get into it for the next time. I do have the little Lee Classic Loader that I picked up in 9mm. That's the one that you can do a round at a time. But I don't have anything else right now like primers, powder, scale etc. So I'll wait.

Did a search the other day in local stores,... found powder ( got enough ) , heads ( tho prices were up 20%, got plenty ) but no primers.
most store had open bricks but none full. When I buy its 5 bricks (5k ) at a time.
Getting worried, down to my last 5000 primers

In a very similar boat. I have the following on hand for primers:
3,100 SPP
1,000 LRP
4,800 LRP
3,000 SRP
450 MLRP
Needless to say my shooting has been slowing down.
