Show your reloading bench!

[jakeway]

Hillbilly Hunter has the indespensible thing...that little white iPod on the speakers. I love listening to the tunes while preping and trimming the cases.

 

[Whelen Man]

LOL....this is a big request. I've got reloading things scattered everywhere. I trimmed it down to 4 main pictures.
Here's the press and the portable box I use most of the time on the kitchen counter.

This box holds all the small tools necessary such as pocket reamers, Allen wrenches, screwdriver, lube, caliper, micrometer, etc..

Here's a lot of junk in my storage cabinet that holds just about everything....what a mess!

Here's my powder storage cabinet that holds only open cans of powder currently being used. I have bulk storage of commonly used powders elsewhere.

I didn't know how disorganized I was until you asked this question. I'm all over the place.

Nice bench DA! I hope to have something similar to that one day.

 

[Hillbilly Hunter]

I've got the same single stage Lee press that I clamp on the bench. I use it to prime WSM cases with a LEE auto prime because they are too fat to fit in the hand priming tool.

Thanks to all for the pics.

DA - how does the bench hold up to downward pressure when using the press? Yours is a single stage correct?

Hillbilly - is that a 4+ stange press? Looks like you have a second turrett set up already?

What are the pros/cons of each type? What do you guys load?

Thanks.

 

[Hillbilly Hunter]

That is a LEE 4 hole turret press. I have a turret for each caliber. Once I have the dies set I take the turret out of the press and pop which ever caliber I need in. I don't have to set my dies back up again.

270
270 WSM
30-06
300 WSM
7mm WSM
7mm mag
44 mag
45 ACP
22-250
300 UM
30-30
25-06
260

That's what I am talking about. Do you measure the first off every time you change the turret?

 

[Hillbilly Hunter]

yes, it is always better to double check. The turrets are about $9.00 each, well worth the time savings to me.

 

[Whelen Man]

My problem is multiple rifles...all with different throats....many in the same calibers. The quick interchange would be nice but I would have to have separate dies for each rifle. It would sure be nice to be wealthy enough to buy a set of dies for each individual rifle but I've not been there yet.

 

[jakeway]

not me i prefer no distractions what so ever

I turn the music off when I'm handling primers, powder, or bullets.

 

[jakeway]

My typical mess...I clean it up before actually loading!

 

[Model70Man]

Kimberman and I made this bench. The cabinet to the left above the bench no longer has bullets in it. It actually fell off the wall when Paradis1142 and his buddies came over to reload. Talk about a huge mess! There was at least 90 pounds of bullets in it when it fell. I think I jumped out of my skin when it happened. Now all of the bullets are on a shelf underneath the bench.

 

[ShaneHallum]

Nice..

[skynimrod]

Nice setup Shane.
Dillons I presume?

 

[ShaneHallum]

Yes sir

My reloading bench has changed a bit. Have my turret press bolted to the work bench, picked up a single stage have that bolted to the bench...Now have a locker that all the reloading supplies are in and have started casting bullets...

When the opportunity presents, Im always trying to pick something up.
