Reloading with no room

[SixPointEight]

For those that reload inside the house over carpet. Are you ever concerned about powder collecting in the carpet under the bench and fueling a disaster?

I use to reload in my apartment a long time ago. What always concerned me was the small accidental powder spills accumulating in the carpet over time and the potential for carpet explosion when the vacuum cleaner picked it up and sparked it on the electric motor. No sure how much of a real danger it was but it has kept me from setting up a reloading bench inside my own home.

I used to, until I realized my cat loves gunpowder. He tries to lick if I spill it. I think he's a nut job. either way, if you're really worried, you could lightly mist that area of the carpet before vacuuming. Use a water spray bottle, wet powder don't work good. And it doesn't take much water. Be more worried about lost primers, which are explosives, while powder is only flammable.

A Lee hand press and the rest of everything you need to reload fits inside a shoebox.

Works great too. It's a bit harder to use with rifle cases, but you can do .223, with no problems. .308 is tough.

It does pistol cases just fine. I've loaded thousands of .45ACP with my Lee hand press.

Mine is on a cheap walmart status cabinet on rollers. The only thing I'm thinking about doing is putting a support in the center to reduce the chances of it breaking on me but for now it works great all I have to do is move it where I want to reload like the living room and when I'm done I roll it back into the bedroom.

I picked up a used Craftsman rolling tool chest; added a double layer of 5/8" plywood on top and bolted to the chest; all total $50, and it's mobile.

I'm Embarrassed but the Mrs. said if I want to reload, I can only do it in the Garage and I still have to be able to park both cars (since my house does not have a driveway and it's in a HOA complex) anywho, it's my corner... I've set up a Dillon 550b (pistols + 223) and opposed to it is a Forster Co-AX (260 Rem, 308, 30-06)... which ever caliber I need to load, I just re-positon the table...
