Pictures of your reloading bench/equipment

This is what my new reload room looked like when I first got started. I made the bench and it is very heavy and doesn't move when I am busy loading.

Antihero, looking out your window, I didn't think that reloading would be permitted in jail :D. Just kidding, nice clean set-up.
 
My little reloading space

Ok here is mine, I have the room to push out so I am a little lucky. This is in one of my out building and the pistol range is just old side the door to the building. The rife range is in the second floor. I have a side door that opens and the hill side slops up so that 200 yards is straight on.

I hope you enjoy my little reloading room.

Newbie Beginning Bench

Here's my new home built bench. I have added flourescent lights beneath the bottom shelf and a power strip to the back wall.

As you can see, I have not received my Lee Turret, etc. yet. Also, still waiting for primers. Then we'll get busy on the .38SPL and 9mm reloads.

All suggestions welcome (like best mounting of press, etc.)

Jeff

Bench Location

frjeff, nice bench!! are you reloading in your bedroom though??

No, no, no - not going to reload in the bedroom.

Our house was flooded two weeks ago as I had begun the bench. Being all of the flooring and walls and woodwork are being re-done, I thought I'd finish it on the bare plywood flooring inside (which are awaiting new hardwood), rather than outside in the 105 degree heat.

It will soon be moved to my "man den" spare room.

Thanks,

Jeff+

Here is a look at mine after twenty five years of use. And you've shamed into picking a little. Thanks for the photos. Jim
 
I'm jealous of most of these setups, since I have nothing right now. I'm getting a lot of great ideas for setting up my reloading room....thanks for all the photos.
 
My little setup

Attached is my little piece of heaven.

I'm currently renting but about to buy a house in North West Louisiana.
Have a quick question, I notice alot of pics seem to be man caves in garages. . .Should I have any reservations building a new man cave for my reloading in my new garage keeping in mind NE Louisiana's hot humid summers or would the powder and primers be okay?

Thanks

Personally, I wouldn't do my reloading in a non-climate controlled place if I had the option of staying indoors, and that goes double for places that get really hot & humid such as Louisiana. Unless you are really hurting for space, I'd take a smaller spot inside over a huge spot in the garage for the operation.

When I got caught annealing over the kitchen range...it was the last straw:)
Fits better out in the garage anyway. Lo-tech but it seems to work.

I live in humid FL, my garage averages 97 degrees in the summer. I keep my components inside, but I load them outside with a fan blowing, then move the components back inside
