Post up pic/pics of your reloading bench, give a few details on your reloading setup.

I'll start:
Lee 4 Turret Press (223,9mm)
Lee Load All II 12ga
Lee Dies
Pretty much Lee everything besides tumbler and plastic cases which are smart reloader
Calipers, Digital Scale, and Case Lube are Frankford Arsenal
Powder trickler is Hornady

I have several bins for once fired and twice fired, also bins for cleaned brass and dirty brass. I have 30cal ammo cans for finished rounds that aren't hunting/match rounds. The paper box down on the bottom left is full of once fired shotgun hulls.

Toolbox full of tools and full gun cleaning kit.

I put in a wireless laptop under it connected to the screen and speakers, I can look up load data if I can't find any in my manuals, or I can listen to music or watch netflix if I'm in a long reloading session pretty handy.

That about sums up my bench

That'll work! I'll see if I can get a picture of my set-up. It's a mess right now, so I need to do some cleaning first before it's picture worthy!

Dead fridge, primers on top bullets and powder in the bottom.

Very nice bench! One of the nicest I've seen! Good job!

Wow that thing is awesome. Did you just stain the wood? How did you get the black in the wood?

One of these days I'll get around to building the shelves and finishing..

Thanks



Burned it with a propane torch then several coats of polyurethane.

Love the extra lighting, can never have enough light at mine it seems like!

Chad I want to see your set up!

I'll see if I can get a picture of it. It's a mess right now. It's a 3'x8' bench with a Redding T-7 on the right, a Redding Big Boss in the middle, and a Dillon 650 on the left. Nothing too fancy. All my dies are on shelves behind the bench, and powder in a cabinet. The Big Boss can be swopped out for an RCBS big 50 press for loading 50 cal ammo.

I have seen some pretty elaborate ones on here, they are all prtty cool to me. Mine right now SUCKS! Will by buying a house soon though and plan on having my own room, and if I swing the place I want, I will have a bench next to a window with a max 600 yard range... its hard to sleep at night thinkin about it!

This is what I'm hoping for in the next year or so, hope to get a house with some acrage and a inside room for my bench, so I can load a few shoot it and tweak it if need be.

Your idea about the bench right next to a window intriques me. If you shoot inside a room, if you have the barrel out the window would it still be super loud inside the house? My wife would probably have a heart attack if I shot inside the house.

My neighbor has a safe/hurricane room in his house. He has all his reloading gear in there, it has a window to his range(200 yards). He had to sound proof it for his wife and daughter. It's a pretty nice setup but I doubt he'll let me take pics of the room/range.

What brand of dies do you use Chad?

Here is a crappy cell phone pic of mine.

Here's what mine looked like a couple of years ago. It changes every day---usually just gets messier.

Ok, here is mine. I moved into my new house last year about this time. I have only loaded about 150 223 rounds since moving all my stuff. This is a dedicated room for all MY stuff

Mine is in the garage.

I look for Hornady first, then Redding. But often I have to get RCBS, because they are the only one's in stock. I really like the Hornady dies. They have a tear drop expanded ball that makes it easy for cleaning up necks and even using them in a progressive press. And the seater die can be adjusted with your fingers. I like the Reding comp dies, since they have very good micrometer adjustments. I don't like the RCBS dies because you have to have a screw driver and pliers to make adjustments to the dies when sizing and seating. It's a PITA, and I am always looking for pliers and a screw driver that was moved off the bench.

Thanks for the reply Chad. I'll have to give Hornady a good look in the future. +1 for the Redding comp dies.

Ever seen behind a GoodWill store? Thats what my room looks like....

LOL

Some really nice setups here guys hopefully after reloading for a few years my setup will start to accumulate all the neat little gadgets and lots of powders and bullets haha.

Keep em coming.

Don't worry, you will!

Mine is just like dsniper's. In fact that IS it.

Small and simple. Recycled an old computer desk.
Using a RCBS RC3 single press. Dies for 7.62x54r, 8mm Mauser, .223, 7.62x39, 40sw, 45acp. Mostly RCBS, Two are Lyman, and Lee.

I added a Lee powder measure to the stand. Still need a case tumbler and dies for 7.5swiss.
