I've used a Workmate style table for years. It's pretty tight when have some supplies, powder measure etc all in use. And, I had stuff in closet, on table, in garage shelf.

I just got one of the Harbor Freight wood top toolboxes.

I just ordered up a press mount

With that setup, I can keep most of my supplies, dies, calipers etc in one organized place. Will see how in all works when the press stand comes in

Make Room! Make Room!

No one digs a Dillion 550 more than me. So lets do a reality space check.

To get the efficiency out of a Dillion you need room. And if you're moving around from place to place and reloading space
isn't in the financial cards then I wouldn't be too quick to setup a half-fast production area until you do.

Quality, factory 9mm and .223 cartridges cost much less today then they did in the past due to economies of scale. And
the trend for reloading for not so popular rifle cartridges is moving to producing quality, not speed of production.

Be patient. Be realistic.

Moved back to CA recently and my reloading bench didn?t make it due to down sizing. Any ideas for a small reloading bench? The garage is pretty packed but I think I could squeeze a small bench with some rearranging. Just need some ideas on what to use. I primarily use a Dillon 550. It doesn?t need to be portable.

I admittedly didn?t look through the reloading bench pictures thread for very long due to how long it?s taking for pages to load in the forum.

Any chance the garage has bare stud walls?
If so, frame up a workbench from 2x4's that tie directly into the studs of the open wall.

If the garage is drywalled, you can also screw some 2x6 directly to the studs through the drywall and frame the 2x4 bench from there.
You can make it any height and any width you want and then put a roll-away toolbox under it to store your reloading tools and supplies.
By being tied to the wall, it will be very solid/stable which is most important in a reloading bench.
