RELOADING BENCH PICTURES

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?

No, it's lock lubricant. Just dump some in, shake it up and then turn the measure up and start running a bunch through. I just run it back into the container. Saves you from having to run a pound of powder through per the instructions.

This is the stuff I use, it'll last a long time.

you know, I bet that would help alot with H110 getting in the works and gumming things up.

Ashamed to show my mess...

[Whiterabbit]

Shame is an odd emotion to feel over your hobby. How about "Bless this Mess"?



(I bet you know where every stick of every equipment part is in your mess )

Nothing to fancy, built it with in a Saturday. Wife did all the cutting on a miter saw for me and my father swung in finishing up the shelf and pegboard. Aint as pretty as most folk's set up but she gets the job done.

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 think it is great because it is so simple. You can always add on as time goes on. Awesome job.

The American Flag would be good or maybe a poster of the Declaration of Independence, a great reminder that the Founding Fathers knew one day we may end up where they escaped from.

Thanks! I worked on it a little more last night.

The light on the other side of the garage is totally not adequate, so I went to the depot, got 2 2x4s and a 6" 1x6", and used this industrial ballast laying around at home.

Still in process though, they were out of pegboards and I forgot an extension cord so I didn't get to fully enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Another thing I'm concerned about is this bench is supposed to double as my rifle cleaning area, but with the press there and being right handed, I might be frustrated cleaning my 26" rifle with a 40" rod lol.



Sorry for the dark crappy pic, I should finish and update tonight

Done for now

Put the pres on the left side of the bench.

What "press riser" is that?

I cannibalized some parts from an old ikea desk. Thinking about mounting the base of the riser to a a piece of 2x10 so its not fixed to the bench, that way I can just clamp in and out if I need to clear space.

I'm sure you'll manage to find out what works best for you. Thanks. It did kinda look IKEA-ish.

Clamping is the way to go if need the space. I have my turret mounted to a 2x6 and clamped to the bench. Its pretty solid and can be easily removed when necessary.

It's and old sheep shed I use to cure tobacco in now. Yes... it has holes or "ventilation" as I like to think of it. Not from shooting from the bench but from pistol rounds. That shed is at least 80 years old and it's been "downrange" for the last 45 years.... adds character.
