I doubt that I'll ever have enough. I'm in the market now for a Redding T-7 and has anyone looked at that new RCBS single stage press, pretty cool!

I've remodeled my living room twice more since I posted that picture, each time it was to add more........stuff. I'm still using my Lee 3-hole Turret press for 95% of my reloading, and managed to crank out 1400 rounds of 40 and 45 ammo on Wednesday. I still have boxes of empty brass piled up around my chair, and I'm almost eager for winter to get here so I can get caught up on my reloading.

It never really gets better, does it?

I have nice benches in each of my three homes. The Texas place is full tilt, the place in north Idaho covers all that I shoot there and now, living in Queensland Australia, I have a basic set up with my original 1977 vintage RCBS Jr. press, Hornady powder thrower and Dillon scale. All I await is my license to own and acquire a firearm down here. The cousre has been completed and all paperwork submitted. I await...

You are CORRECT Sir! You can smell the testosterone from down the block. I have a wonderful ladyfriend who appreciates my passion for all things gun-related, but she doesn't live here, she just visits when I'm not too busy. It's a VERY good system!

I recently calculated the weight of all the bullets on my shelves.......I think the floor joists may need to be enhanced a little. It's currently close to half a ton. I've been stockpiling stuff for a decade or better.

We won't talk about the loaded ammo..........

Has amassed to

I have only been reloading for about 5 yrs now and I can see how things accumulate quickly.

I have a RCBS rock chucker and a dillon 550 which seem to handle everything I need it to.

Between bullets, cases, powder, primers, dies, containers, trimmers, scales, tumblers, media and the accumulation of things that I "might" need in the future I can see how this gets out of handle relatively fast.

NFPA 495 states more than 20 LBS of powder needs storage container considerations unless your county has waivered that requirement or do not use that reference. Primers are also to be stored elsewhere. While many ignore these requirements, the only ones that may give you grief is the home owners insurance companies for denying the fire damage claim to the house if they find out. May be the neighbors as well from fire or smoke damage. I wasn't aware of this until I bought the Lymans 49th edition and read it. Bummer!!!!
See references in Lymans 49th edition, p65.

Heart of pine full size 2" x 4" wall studs on 16" centers. Rafters are 2" x 8", full size, on 12" centers. Wall and roof is pine tongue and groove boards with real tar, tar paper and 2 layers of shingles.

My reloading supplies are the least combustible thing in this house.

I wouldn't think the insurance company would care about which is the least or most combustible. Claim denials are why insurance companies have staffed lawyers. It's no concern of mine how it plays out, but some might want to know. I am guilty of chances myself.

Only if I win the Lottery. No matter how many times I thought I had everything I needed I'm ALWAYS finding I need something additional. If I won the lottery big enough I could probably then just purchase Midway and then I just might have everything I need.

Right now it's a Thumlers Tumbler and a bag of stainless steel pins I'm saving for. Unfortunately purchasing 4 pounds of VV 3N37 yesterday put a dent into that savings fund.

I quit loading a few years ago and decided to sell out. Guy came to look, liked it, then backed out. Later I got back into it. Now if anyone wants my stuff they'll have to wait till my estate auction.

Bought a Dillon 550 press from Mike Dillon when it first came out for something like $100. I stop by Dillon Precision in Scottsdale, AZ a couple times a month and always find something new. I'm a huge fan of the Dillon "no BS" warranty. I've had a few parts break (when I screwed up) and Dillon has always provided parts and technical support at no cost. One of their retail store people is a IPSC competitor with a wealth of wheel gun knowledge to share.
