RELOADING BENCH PICTURES

SWalt - I think we shop at the same place! My bench is nearly identical to yours! :-(

Well.........everyone else's looked so pretty! The container on the stool says a lot.

I see some pretty nice stuff not being used there. I am totally open to donations if it will help clear that bench.

thank you so much for posting this. I was beginning to judge myself. I would like to see a few pics of these workbenches 5 years later.

Obviously i'm having space issues while my house is being remodeled. I cant wait to get my garage and work bench back. Might be next year.



I use the summit as an arbor press mainly. The setup takes up less space, requires less force, and don't have to mount it to the table. The lee handpress has been getting a lot of mileage. Works out since I only have to reload for 1 rifle right now.

LOL....mines a home made special with 3/4 plywood that has too much flex. Tried to get it to be less flexible by gluing, clamping, and screwing a 2x4 tight underneath to the cross member and top. Still has some flex but get consistent powder charges.

I'm not in a charitable mood and it does get used. Probably more if I stop posting as much on CGN!

My bench isn't dedicated just for reloading so it gets used for other things. I actually put the LNL AP on the bench just for the picture, it was already cluttered so just throw another item on! It would set in the same place as the Rock Chucker in different holes. The .223 brass was actually just trimmed, uniformed, primed, separated by head stamp and weight. What isn't shown (besides other die sets, tumbler, buckets of .308, .40 S&W, 9mm Luger, .30 '06 brass and other components is the Redding 3BR powder thrower I use when single stage reloading and beam scale. The 3BR will make an appearance when I get to finish assembling the .223. Don't worry, I'll push every thing aside and clear a space when I start to do that. Good to know you aren't the only one eh?.

I cleaned mine up a bit to work on stuff.

Rock chucker is by the frog lube under the gray cover.

I instantly feel so much better about my bench at home...
i have a teensy 1 foot radius clear around the press so stuff doesn't get mixed up.

After seeing some of these benches I feel somewhat inadequate.....but here's my setup:

[Victor Cachat]

I have no room in the garage or house except for one side of a closet.
It just fits.

If I get a swager, it will have to be a CH 4D.

Press comes tomorrow. Got the bench from Home Depot, $70 and super solid, made in USA too.


Press mounted! Waiting for supplies to arrive so I can get to it!
