RELOADING BENCH PICTURES

[liber]

I had to make it "cute" for my sweethart, I love 12/12 roofs, major pain to work on but they NEVER leak! PLus I had to match the house. For anyone interested,

I'm actually building a house myself which is split between 12/12 and 12/5, the later being for the shed dormers, and my roof is 14' off the top plates, so 12/12 is damn steep! LOL

I'm only to the top plates.

Where is your property at where you build the reloading building above? (new one)

EDIT: funny you mention tough shed. My current reloading is done in a shed in my backyard which I turned into my office and half the space I use for hand tools, metal and wood. The metal bench has become my gunsmith bench with a Dillon 650 on it. It started out as a 10x20 shed. I paneled the inside with knotty pine t&g and wood flooring.

Can't really see too much here, but when I first setup my Dillon on the end of the bench.

Dang. Now that's a heck of a project for a reloading bench!

Just finished a bench for me and my dad today, he's in a wheel chair and wanted something he could wheel right into for his 550. I got a 650 for Christmas and set it up at the end.

Peg board needs to be cleaned off with all the senseless stuff that has been piling up and shelving put up for primers and what not.

Just need to get a strong mount for the single stage as well as a little bit more organizing and she's good to go!

My garage is very small that forces me to have my stuff in casters or hung in the walls.

My woodworker bench is from Festool MFT bench (43" x 28"). I made the roller cart to house the MFT bench, vacuum and other tools. The MFT table has holes on it so that you add stoppers, clamps, etc like a welding table.

Because the MFT bench has a attachments slide rails, it occurred to me to build a pedestal for my Loadmaster an attached into my MFT bench instead of building a dedicated bench.

The Loadmaster pedestal is made out of 2x4's and 1/2" AL plate that was leftover from a project. I made the front legs to be further out from the press to minimize flexing. At the bottom, some adjustable screw legs from Lowes. When I reload, I put a sheet of craft paper on top so that I don't loose stuff in between the MFT and the cart.
When reloading, I sit in front of the bullet seating station (7-8 o'clock as viewed in the picture) that way I have a clear view of the powder level before placing the bullet.

Never thought I'd get into reloading. Here's my bare minimum super economical setup.



Shame I have the wrong shell holder and can't start doing anything lol.

I like it.

[Whiterabbit]

Yep, works. I see more than needed to reload. Powder drop? swanky!

If I had a nickel for everything I thought "I never thought I'd.... "

You'll be cranking out great ammo in no time.

I have that powder measure and it's really good, especially for how cheap it is. Just run some powdered graphite through it first or you're going to have inconsistent drops due to static cling. Be sure you coat the entire hopper.

is powdered graphite the same as that dry lube stuff I use to lube case necks for neck sizing only? I don't have much of that lol.. how exactly do I do this? put it inside and shake it up?

My next project is to add a top shelf to install lighting and a pegboard directly to the bench. thinking 2x4 basics shelf set up. Hopefully the correct shell holder shows up soon, I just got 150 bergers and 500 noslers I want to start loading!

thanks in advance!

oh yeah, and I have a giant blank wall I need to decorate next to it. American flag? Gadsden? NRA? or just some t&a posters? I got that movie poster from 13 hours with Jack and Tyrone with their rifles, maybe ill throw that up.

I really want a legitimate non plastic America flag though. That shouldn't piss off my neighbors lol

It's actually used as a coating on black powder kernels to make them flow more easily, so it's quite compatible with your powder. Not that I wouldn't be shaking all of it out and blowing it with an air gun before introducing powder, but still, no contamination issues. google will yield other sources as wel. No doubt you can buy a bathtub worth on amazon for a buck fifty and free shipping...

My suggestion is not to fill the space just to fill it. Nothing wrong with a blank wall for a few days, months, years.

It will fill itself over time. Better to fill it with a need than to go spend resources to fill it and not have the room later (for that awesome wall hanger flintlock that will never fire again that you found at a gun show for 50 bucks that one time....)
