RELOADING BENCH PICTURES
Maybe it's my poor computer skills, maybe it's te Granola I ate this morning with soy milk...but I cannot find the post (if there is one) to see pictures of folks reloading set-up's.
If there is one, it sure would be easier to find if it was in the RELOADING SECTION of this forum. (Duh). Like I said, it's probably just me. Anyhoo...here are a few pictures of my set-up. The desk was designed and built by myself, and it is located in my office. I have a Dillon XL650, and a Hornady 366 Auto shotshell loader. Shoot with a purpose. In Christ: Raymond PS: You should consider making this a sticky thread. PSS: If you don't have pictures, please don't waste our time by "describing" your reloading bench. Let's keep this an "eye candy" thread. Last edited by RaymondMillbrae; 12-23-2009 at 9:12 AM.. |

Here are a few more pictures of the set-up. Below is a picture of the Ottlight I have in my workspace. The light is awesome, and gives me great color renditioning. I also added a picture to show how I attached the ON/OFF switch of my case trimmer to the back of my Dillon Press. Then there are a few more pictures of the box I made to raise the press and catch the completed shotshells. Enjoy...and let's see your set-up's!!!

Holly crap! That's one hell of a nice set up.
I'm just a newbie starting out with a single stage RCBS set. Doing rifle & pistol. Knowing what my start up cost was, I can only imagine what your ran!! Very nice!!

Wow that a great bench! I would put up pictures of mine but I just moved and you can't see the bench, just the top of my Dillon sticking out! I hate moving.
What's with the light?

Just4Fun63,
Ottlight makes really great lights. (CLICK HERE TO SEE MY LAMP) They started as craft lights (knitting/sewing/quilting/embroidering), and then slowly progressed to reading lights...blah, blah, blah. In the end, folks saw how nice they really were for different applications and eye-relief...and they are now pretty big and widely used for many things. I just like the fact that it was small enough to fit right where I wanted it for smaller gunsmithing/leatherworking/stained glassworking detail work. I recently purchased this light on sale for something like $30.00, shipped to my door...which was an exceptional deal. Good lighting is ALWAYS beneficial when working with detailed projects. (And if you are getting old and decrepit like myself). In Christ: Raymond Last edited by RaymondMillbrae; 12-23-2009 at 9:14 AM.. |

Very nice setup, Raymond. Can't imagine me ever having one like that unless I win the lottery or hit the jackpot at a casino
How're those shotshells workin out for ya? Here's my setup: RCBS rock chucker basic setup. I don't even have case prep equipment yet It works for what I use it for though. It's on a B&D workmate collapsible bench, so if I need I can move it

Thanks.
But if I ever hit the lottery, I'll only shoot factory loads. Ha ha ha. In Christ: Raymond PS: Just joking...our family does not play the lottery. PSS: The shotshell hulls were cool. I only used a handful of them. I will need to sift through them again soon, and possibly pass them on to other shotshell loaders like you did to me. Kudos.

QUOTE: I realize that reloading is a fairly intimate experience for some people but what's with the pimp oil?
Ha ha ha. I am actually a pretty simple guy. My wife talked me into wearing "smell good". So I made her (over time) bring home things she found pleasant to smell. I finally went with Giorgio Armani "Aqua Di Gio," and Kenneth Cole "Reaction". She paid for the "smell good" during the experimental/searching phase. But now it's my job to maintain the "smell good supply". You know the ole saying... "Women...you can't live with them, and you can't live with them". Ha ha ha.

Whenever my wife tells me I'm spending too much on reloading, I'll just send her a link to this thread. (Hi, hun! I know you're reading this!) My little single-stage setup is nothing compared to what you guys have invested.
I'll still post a pic of it, though. I'll get the camera out tonight. |

Nice set-up, Esheato.
I hope you live in a nice neighborhood, as that garage door looks like it will give up the ghost with a good hit from a pre-teen girlie on a 10-speed bicycle with a banana seat. Make sure your safe is also bolted down to the concrete floor. Great, clean place, to work!! Kudos on a nice job...and a patient wife. In Christ: Raymond |

I no longer live at that address...hence the pics. Security is one thing, keeping your mouth shut is another.
Safe was and is bolted to the floor with four 1/2" concrete anchors and I always place it in a corner to prevent rocking it loose. Wife likes for me to have a hobby. I can't complain. Ed |

Here is mine, it is on it's going to be moved down into the basement soon My tumbler and shell sorter are down there already since it is quieter then my front porch
Just your basic $25 Donation to Friends of Animals for the Desk, everything fits inside the big cabinet. Primers are in the upper drawer from the powder, and brass. Bullets and more brass are in the green top bin I will take more pics of the whole setup once I get it moved downstairs next year sometime. -Gio

You guys have some nice clean setups and I now know where all the primers in the state have gone. I'm to ashamed to show the condition my bench is in right now but you have motivated me to clean her up. I'll tackle it this weekend after I hit the range.

I'll play, but I only have pics of my shotgun loading stuff for now. I will try to get one of the SDB set up that I made, works really well.

Just getting started, the bench is solid but not solidly mounted yet...one of the sacrifices of being military and moving around a lot.

note, the channel locks can be used for seating, crimping and even pulling bullets apart in a pinch
