For me it would be depriming and possible priming. That is all.
Anyone remember that gun shop and range that used to be in Edmond at Danforth and Kelly? I signed up for a reloading class they had scheduled not long before the place just shut down out of now where. I really wish I would've been able to go through it before they closed.
I think was only like $50 or something for an 8 hour course on a Saturday.

That place was about 5 blocks from my house. The owner was kind of a jerk, but he ran a tight ship when it came to safety and was quick to boot some one for being unsafe or stupid, so I respected that and enjoyed the range. He also didn't charge by the hour, you had the lane until you went home.

I bought the 99 dollar bench from Harbor Freight to put in my office. Other than the light bulb going out within a month and no one on this planet stocking that bulb, it has been a great bench. I bought a strong mount for my Hornady Press and have no trouble resizing even the biggest cases. It didn't take up much room, but might be an eyesore in the living room. I've done some hand priming while watching TV, but I've found over the years I like to focus on the reloading task with very minimal distractions while doing it. Maybe some metal in the background, but that's it.
You are more than welcome to stop by the house or call if you have any questions down the road.

Here is the portable I have made and used often.
The outrigger legs have notches in them as does the middle.
I have a piece of flat steel I welded uprights on that flat steel to hold the plywood secure.
This keeps the legs from kicking out and keeps the middle plywood secured in place.
You could do the same with wood or just build it so it does not fold up.

For rifle and pistol loading, I have an old second hand RCBS RockChucker to deprime, but for the rest of the reloading process, I use hand tools. I have 3 or 4 RCBS hand priming tools, and I use Lee hand presses to seat bullets and crimp. I think I have at least 8 hand presses, so I can leave them set up for different calibers. I have a couple electric scales, but for most of my loads, I use Lee dippers. It’s not real scientific, but my ammo is extremely accurate and consistent.
I lost my shooting buddy in September to a sudden aneurysm, but he was always amazed that my cobbled together ammo would shoot so well.
I say all that to say if I have deprimed cases I can actually load ammo anywhere.
