Mine looks something like this.

Mine would just be a picture of a desk. Because I mounted my press to a piece of 2X4 that I clamp onto the desk when I reload. All the 'stuff' fits in a couple boxes kept in the closet.

My life is a work in progress...much like the reloading bench.

 

[Collo Rosso]

Been reloading for about 4 or so years now. Started in the garage and the S.C. summers were fun trying to keep the sweat out of the cases. Earlier this year I talked the wife into letting me build this bench in the laundry room. Much better with A/C! Nothing fancy and the closest thing I'll ever come to a man cave.

Raised my bench up last night, as it was just too low to work from standing or sitting comfortably to use my stool . Think this height is going to work out much better for me. Going to add a couple shelves on the end for my reloading manuals.

I'll play too!

Square Deal B and Lee classic turret on the side.

I just got an M&P .40 (my first hand gun), don't have my CPL yet so I have to wate 5-11 days until I can pick it up. Anyway, I want to get set up for reloading and was wondering what I'll need to get started and how much I should expect to spend. I have a SLIM budget so I cant break the bank on this; However, I do want to reload safe reliable ammo. Any thoughts/suggestions?

thanks,

Amazon has a pretty good price for the Rock Chucker Supreme Master Loading Kit for $243. Add a set of dies and a shell holder or whatever to get it over $300 so you get the $50 rebate. You get some nice equipment for around $250. A good start anyway.

I don’t have a dedicated man cave/reloading room and for reloading use a corner of an office I share with my wife.

I use a B&D Workmate 225 for a reloading bench. I removed the top and replaced with doubled 3/4" oak plywood. My Rock Chucker 2 and powder dropper are mounted to a RCBS bench plate which is C clamped to the top. I also screwed a rail to the front so I could hang Akro bins.

This setup is pretty sturdy and the whole thing breaks down/folds away in a few minutes. It has worked great for my needs.

It would be great to gather all these threads to a sticky for this building out works areas. I've seen a LOT of awesome setups and some unique ideas

Here's mine, kinda messy right now. Bench made of two 5x14 white oak planks. Got tired off pulling apart flimsy benches. I'm going to mount another
press just to seat bullets. Got 12'-6" to work with. Far end has my casting
outfit.

I can't get my boxer to lay down bye me when I reload but she can sniff out a good primer that hits the floor!

Hope she does not start eating them that could cause the s--t to hit the fan.

I have a turret press like yours. It is in storage just now, can't remember what brand that is, and don't know any of the history. It was my dad's, then I used it for 20 years or so. Thinking about getting back into it now.

Here's my set up. I'm just starting but have been around reloading with my friends for years. I've already loaded about 300 rounds for my .380, 9mm and .40.

We had a room that never got remodeled, and it eventually became my reloading room. This picture is a few years old, and it was quite disorganized when I took it.

I have a 72" by 22" bench and 60" by 22" bench in an "L" configuration in a 7'6" by 12' room. My gunsmithing workbenches take up the other half of the room.

The Dillon in the middle is the 450 I bought back in 1984 and have since changed to the 550 interchangeable toolhead frame. It is my dedicated .41 Magnum machine.

The Dillon 550 on the left was bought at an estate sale 20 years ago and is now the "Large Primer" machine after I got the 550 on the right at a gunshow which is the "Small Primer" machine. After selling off the unneeded conversion kits, toolheads and other extras that came with both machines I have about $125 invested in the two.

My old Lee Challenger press that I used for rifle just got moved to the end of the short bench to make room for my new Red White and Blue RCBS Summit press.

This is it for now. I definitely see a Dillon 1050 in Reloading Plan 2015 for dedicated .357 production. Currently exploring bench options. The one pictured is only stable if I add a couple hundred pounds of components to its shelves. If anyone has suggestions, please feel free to share them.

After the kids moved out we ended up with an extra room. I've been dragging this drafting table from office to storage to home and back for years. MrsG said it had to look nice so I covered it with some nice cork flooring and put it to use. The cabinets on the opposite wall are reclaimed from a remodel job. A queen size blow up mattress fits nicely between them.

Just added some of the "wall art" received for Christmas!

EDIT - decided to add another table for more work space!
