Never trust a man with a organized reloading room.

I do believe that is more open floor space that you had for Square Dance lessons!

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.

Nothing there a few more of those nice solid shelves wouldn't fix.

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,

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.
