RELOADING BENCH PICTURES

[RaymondMillbrae]

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.

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.

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!!!

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?

[RaymondMillbrae]

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).

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

[RaymondMillbrae]

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.

I realize that reloading is a fairly intimate experience for some people but what's with the pimp oil?

MOTHER OF GOD!

Wow...those benches are clean.

Where are all the half dissasembled kids toys?

Beatiful esheato! dont you have to store that much powder in a Powder Magazine though?

[esheato]

Dunno and don't care.

I do a lot of load development and have accumulated 'em over time.

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

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.
