Never trust a man with a organized reloading room.

<Sigh>... oh, to have a bench. My press is screwed to the edge of a 2x12, that is in turn screwed to a couple studs out in the garage.

The picture is deceptive but that room is 16x16. I started out to take a picture of the wooden mount I made this weekend to raise the Dillon to a more comfortable height.

You've come on a good day you can see either the "loading bench" or the "floor".

I gave up inspections after the Military and LEO service.

This is mine. It's small but it can reload every thing I shoot.

Ya'll have reloading rooms or shops! Ammo factories!
Mine is a small desk. I've shown this before but here is a little detail.
I picked this desk off the street after someone threw it away sometime in the late 70's.
Reinforced with a couple dozen sheet-rock screws and some construction strap cross bracing.
The chair is from my father's study. It's older than I am.
Got the Redding press and powder mill from a local hardware store during their going-out-of-business sale in the early 80's.
The old Lyman trimmer came from a gun club swap meet.
Loading is usually limited to a box of 50 at a time.
Normally those are loading ladders for development.
I like working with new combinations especially in the 444 or 445.
Specializing in the 44 calibers keeps things a bit simple.

Gonna share a tip I discovered related to the hammer de-loader.
Instead of the little spring loaded 3 part clasp that holds the cartridge, use a regular shell holder.
I could never keep the original springy one from falling apart.
The Quinetics model has a hole just right to let the shell holder base go thru it.
Another trick is to put a foam earplug in the bottom to catch the bullet and keep it from being dinged up.
I normally use an RCBS collet bullet puller but when working on cartridge length with dummy loads
and not much bullet pull, the hammer works fine and is less hastle.

Here's the gun-section of my (now work from home) office/man cave and a closeup of my bench. It's gone idle for many years as we got busy with kids, but with all the spare time I've had due to the pandemic I've reorganized everything and gotten back to reloading.

Here is an old photo of mine. Need to take another one, but the table will have to be CLEANED up before I take another photo. I use it for reloading, working on guitars and guns, transposing music, a storage area for treasures and memories etc.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

When we built our condo, it was a given that the first thing finished in the basement was my loading room. After having been crammed in a closet for many years I was determined to have a room that fit my needs.
Room is 11x21, and has benches around 3 sides of the majority of it. One side for cleaning working on guns (and building Fly rods). One side for my old Texsan loader that is my rifle and load development loader, and one side fo rmy Dillon 550 and the Mec9000 12 gauge loader. The back corner is a 4'x7' all concrete walk in gun vault. After 15 years here it still fits what I need.

This is my little space. All gun and brass cleaning is done in an outbuilding. It's all I need to keep me on the range.

That gun vault is super cool but I'd like to hear more about the collection of awards on the wall.

This is about as organized as mine gets. I share our loft with our office, and my side of it has not only reloading, but rockhounding and music stuff also.

Open them in a program that lets you re-set the aspect ratio to square - then resave them.
Either that or move to Australia.

I thought I had the only carpeted reloading room. Must be an Illinois thing. (Picture to follow.)
I like your milk jug brass containers.

Here's mine. A nice, cozy corner of the basement. That glow is a light table. It makes a nice, soft bench light.

I am pretty blessed for space. I actually have several benches I work at. The first is my main bench (2 pics) where I do my powder coating, case prep and firearm cleaning maintenance. The other area is just around a corner and has my reloading presses on it with ample storage below. A third area is part of the future remodel that is ongoing. Right now it has my gun safe and a stand with bullets and ammo on it. That entire area will be cleaned out and my safe and an ammo can will be against one wall bolted down with sheet rock above, around and below, more storage and a new narrow bench for a Dillion SD that was gifted to me. I have another area in the basement I just completed - no pics included where I built some killer storage for the wife and added a deep wash tub and a 4 foot counter. Works great for quenching, cleaning things up and washing brass.

In the process of these remodels I have created a ton of storage areas and places to put boxes for my firearms, cases, lead and all the other stuff that seems to follow me home. I can't seem to get rid of much, it took me too long to acquire all of it!

I built my reloading area in my woodworking/gunsmithing/everything shop and only had a corner to build it into, so, this is where I reload.

My reloading bench looks like something you would see on Hoarders .

I'm a pack rat with no organizational skills and after years of trying .... it isn't going to change .

I went through a huge clean , sort , crate , label and organize project last year ... I was so proud of myself ... but at night , while I sleep , the Disorganizing Fairies come out at Midnight and undo all my hard work !

I give up ...you just cant beat the Disorganizing Fairies !

Love the 3 stage (CH?) and the Co-Ax old school "non traditional" presses.
They are beautiful!

That is a Deitemeyer No. 200 Loader. Patents were bought by Pacific(which was bought by Hornady), which used it for the basis of their shotshell loaders.
