Pictures of your reloading bench/equipment

I have a small home, so room is at a premium. I used a 60.00 butchers block from craigstlist. I have two Dillon 550s, one for large primer work and one for small primer work.

re:IllinoisCoyoteHunter

Any luck training your dog to operate the reloading presses? I tried with my dogs, I think not having a thumb works against them.:D
 
Here are a few pics of my man cave, I have had to fight tooth and nail with

the wife to keep it. It is the only thing that keeps me sane. Me and the dog

spend any free time left, after kids, work wife, family time,

barricaded in this little slice of heaven. flyboy:D

Here is my little man cave. You can't tell in the pictures, but all the shelf compartments are 2-3 rows deep. All the ammo cans under the bench are full also....I'd estimate about 125,000 rounds, gotta be ready for anything! I shoot a lot of trap and skeet competitively which is the reason for all the different gauge loaders, along with IDPA pistol. The black file cabinet has about 15,000 loaded rounds of 12,20,28 and 410 shells in it. I don't have a wide enough angle lens to get it all in one picture, so I had to piece it together

chrisg....your reloading room is better stocked than many stores I've seen.

And I didn't even show you my converted closet that is packed full of all the reloading components that I can't fit on my benches!:):)
 
Well it is a starting point... The little short Bench is where the Lee Deluxe Turret Press WILL go when it gets here next week. I am hoping to have everything together and than I will repost new ones.

Bin Question

Ok here is a question that I would like info on... I am thinking about going to Harbor Freight tomorrow to get some Plastic Bins for my bench and to help in the Reloading process. Does anyone have an opinion on what Size bins I should get? I am thinking about having Bins to hold Brass awaiting to be loaded and also a couple bins to catch finished rounds. I was looking on Harbor Freight and they have a couple Bin racking setups that have pull out bins, and also some that you mount on the wall. I have open wall at the back of my Bench under my window. Let me know what you guys think. thank you
 
get different sizes!!! lol

I started with some small ones and they did fine but then I increased my out put and got some tupperware type containers... big mistake cuz I didn't care to much for them.

Then I dished out for some Large bins (like the bins on the dillon 1050, but red) Anywhoo those are great for sorting and if you can get a couple and build a rack you will do great by having your brass easily visible yet sorted.

I always use 2 bins at a time. Like for trimming and swaging and so fourth. take one out of bin 1 and swage/trim and place in bin #2 and repeat lol

It may not be fancy jtuck, but all loading benches are a thing of beauty. I love that top you have on yours.
 
The difference a couple days can make when you decide that you want to make it functional. I just CANT wait tell my loader gets here. It was supposed to have shipped from WI on Wednesday. Will those Case holder work for powder filling? I am still not sure if I understand the Case holder thing yet.

case holder = something that doesn't allow your case to topple over and ruin the reload process. No other purpose really.
