Lets see your reloading benches

[John Ross]

2 Questions:
1)How many people are employed here?
2)How many shifts do you run?

Just me. I tend to go for marathon sessions of 10-12 hours, especially when the weather's lousy.

My biggest gripe is the dearth of gang molds available. That's one area of reloading that's gotten considerably WORSE in the last 35 years. Wish H&G were still in business...

I think I may have added a few die sets since this was taken.

and maybe a few more jugs of powder than this one.

The other end has this casting gear.

and it all has a lot more clutter now!

I run my machine a few hours every other week or so and this makes all the ammunition I have time to shoot.
You guys manufacturing for sale or getting ready for the zombie apocalypse?

No doubt. Some of these guys look like they are set up better than some of the stores I shop at. And to think my bench is made from yellow pine 2x4’s and some plywood. But hey, it works. This is from my 9mm loading marathon. I have no idea how many that is. And yes those are concrete blocks. They help keep everything steady.

I see you're using a Lee cast iron classic turret. I have one, in addition to a Hornady LNL AP, and find I use the Lee more than the Hornady. I don't do a lot of marathon loading, so the Lee usually get's the call, even more so than the Rock Chucker.

My reloading room is very spartan compared to some of yours...

I don't sell ammo but I shoot a lot and I run a weekly shooting school (which mostly uses .22rf and 9mm) that burns up some of the ammo I load.

Yes!
I knew i wasn't the only one..

Here is mine, you need to look hard at or you may miss something .

this is an idea i have been toying with.
find some casters that lock down to reduce movement and i would be pretty much set for the 550b and the ol lee single stage.

 

[dewie]

I feel inadequate.

 

[mgoodbar]

Here's my Man Cave, its a 16x20 two story shop my wife built for me last year. Since then I've only been in there about 2 weeks total, 4 more months to go on this 2 yr tour. I do have a 40 meter rifle/pistol range built outside on the right.

I built mine from plans that I found on the internet. I added the shelving and trim to make things convenient. Later I added the shelf on the right end to accomodate a Lee Classic Turret Press that I bought for all my handgun rounds.

First and foremost, thank you for your service.

Secondly, that's some fine woman you have, but you knew that already.

Get home safely, ya' hear?

Reloading bench

Here's mine. Located in the top secret shed in my back yard.
Of course, the Duke oversees the entire operation...

97thSignalman - Now that is one impressive setup. Very neat, organized, clean, etc. After saving the pics I went onto my porch and looked at my setup (I won't embarrass myself with pics). Now I need to find the right time to speak to my wife about some new construction in the basement. Thanks for sharing this.
