I got the idea from another forum. Show us your gear and reloading bench so we can drool over all your cool stuff :D

I start. I have a Dillon Xl650 with Mr Bulletfeeder and redding competition pro dies in 9x19 and .38 spl/357 mag
I currently have it in my parents garage so it`s cold this part of the year ~5 Celcius / 41 Farenheit. I keep my bench small due to lack of space :)

There is a thread on this forum about this but I couldn't find it so I'll post the same picture again. I've included pics of my 2 favorite accessories for my 650 (makes primer management soooo much easier).

I've posted this picture before but it's always fun to post another. I've been loading .223's like crazy so at the present time it's not nearly this clean....This was the tack room in my small barn and it measures only 10' x 12'. I had a concrete floor poured then I framed, wired, insulted and sheeted the room. I built the bench extra strong running the length of the room. I live in the north and only have time to do serious loading during the winter so I have a built in heater! It looks large in these pictures but it is really pretty small, but works just fine for me. These pictures were taken at different stages while setting up the room thus the differences in signs, posters, etc.

The room as it sits now

I'm pretty pleased with the way everything came out considering I have ten thumbs when it comes to construction. I'm still decorating the room but it's getting a good reloading workout!

I have an extra room in the house we never bothered remodeling. So, it got turned into a reloading room. This picture is outdated, and the room is currently quite organized. My bench sports a pair of Dillon 550s, a Lyman Orange Crusher, and a Star lubesizer. Not pictured are ridiculous amounts of brass, cast bullets, and another hog.

I'm not really lacking for space but I just don't need much room for my goodies. It's far too hot to have a garage set up down here and we don't have a basement. I made this bench in the closet (double set of bifolds) of our computer room. The Square Deal press is covered on the right in a slip in holder. The Panavise usually stays in the Lee mount. I just slip the Dillon in that spot to load. The cabinet is by the closet and just holds a small portion of my supplies. Things are aren't temperature or humidity sensitive are in a larger cabinet in the garage. It all serves me very well.

I keep telling myself to clean my room up enough to take a decent picture...I'll probably be telling myself the next time this comes up too.
 
This is an old photo. Mine still looks somewhat similar, but the red vise and the bench drill press have been relocated to another work bench and the RCBS single-stage press has been mounted where the red vise was formerly located.
 
Dillon blue is well represented. The primer cup catcher is new to me.

There's a guy on Ebay that sells them(both the spent primer catcher and the unused missed primer catcher). They're in a "perpetual" buy it now auction. A whole lot better than picking them up off the floor when you get too many in the "ski jump" or drop the square bin when pulling it out. :D
 
As I've said in other threads.......I'm soooo jealous. I'm still buying components and trying to get set up. Finally decided on a location for the bench, now just have to build it.

Nice set ups to all who have posted pics, I can only hope to get to that level someday.
