Have one on a DIllon 550B. Same as setting up for any other caliber, just load data is different. OAL, powder charge etc. I used the DIllon PM on mine as that's all I have (or want to spend - I'm Chinese)

Use a press stand and store it in the closet or use it to hang clothes from.

Alternatively, you could get a hand press.

It's easy. 54r is sorta like M1 round.

Here's a good and cheap scale to use.

I'd rather you reload you own as there is a liability risk I am not willing to take.

How did you talk your wife in allowing you to get a M1 in the first place?
