crockett Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) No firearm forum is complete without a reloading room photo thread. I find it always fascinating to see what others came up with. No matter if you reload in a closet on a single stage press, in the garage or at the kitchen table. Let's see some pictures of where the magic happens! -- I was lucky enough to have a spare bed room available. I wouldn't mind reloading in the garage, but Florida's constant heat and humidity would be too much for me.

Mr. Black Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Someday crockett, someday! I envy your room. Until then, I am stuck in the cramped garage. Funny, we actually keep cars in our garage too. Where they belong. Yes, that's 3 dillon presses and my antique single stage all in the span of about 6 feet. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N2extrm Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Good on you crockett! I was just thinking it was time to start one of these threads. Lets see if I can get this to work. My bench is a work in progress since we moved a year or so ago. At least I'm in a heated and cooled space now. My prior bench was an unheated detached shed/garage. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N2extrm Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 This was my original setup, before I got exiled to the out building, before I sold the 550. And my bench in exile at the old house. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome setup, thank you for sharing. Really like those power outlets at that height. Somebody was thinking. Making notes for my next house. PS: I'm getting this itch for a dual 650 setup.

Those outlets were put there exactly for that reason. To admit my mistake, its still not enough power. I should have done quads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ P Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 My kitchen table reloading bench. I have since added to the shelving unit in the background. LCTP pictured and another little C press stored away. My shop is a 1/2 mile away and I like climate control. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBull 301 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Sure did! Put an arrow in him at 13 yards. Hanging weight at the butcher was 499 lbs, the butcher couldn't believe it was only one elk. His BIG brother is on the other wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That room is the cumulation of 40 years of reloading. I got started in 1978 with the Lyman Expert Kit, then a few years later caught the Dillon "Blue virus". I have been fortunate to have been at the right place/time when my buddies upgraded to Dillion 650's. I have not paid more than $250 for any of the 550's complete with a lot of accessories.

james bay area Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Wow, seeing everyone's set up made me leave out my picture! I Load for one caliber only and l keep my powder, scale, caliper, loading kit and stuff all in a shoe box. I stack my bench press weights on the floor in front of the tv and use them as a hard surface for hammering with my mallet... nothing fancy. I live in an apartment with not much space, so when i am done, all tools and materials go back into box in the closet... One day though... Very nice set ups all of you! having a dedicated work space seems really great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
