Post your reloading rig!

What's with the seagull poop on your stool?

That's to distract you from the secret 1940's dentist lamp that is the secret of the whole operation.

the two stools were left by the previous owner and I foolishly used one to repaint the house. The table was picked up off the street as well. The only money spent has been on bullets and the blue parts.

I like your hedge trimmer.

Thanks (I thought about that when I was resizing that pic). What reloading bench would be complete without a trimmer?

Thanks for the pic - I live in constrained space and have been mulling over getting into reloading, but everyone else I know has these huge reloading benches. Nice to see it's possible to put something together that takes up minimal space and isn't an eyesore in your living space...

Did you have to make any tradeoffs based on size for some of the gear you were buying, instead of getting the "one you really want" that wasn't going to fit? (just curious)

No I bought the gear and then the cart to fit it. The only thing I was worried about is after the table top stuff is put in having space to move around but it looks like a folding tv tray (another piece that can go in the closet) will work to hold my reloading book and notes leaving the rest of the cart top for trays. If i really run low on space I can get another tv tray and they take up almost no room in storage.

Btw This is the other cart I as looking at, the down side is that most places take a month or two to get it to you. It looks like it would fit the bill and you can get it for around 170-190 online(the bigger one)

Sorry for the off topic post.... I didnt want to start another thread, and I thought Randalls response may be helpful to others..

Hey Randall, how do you case lube with the 650 after putting the cases in the case feeder?
And if you lube the cases, then put them in the feeder, what lube are you using so as not to get everything coated in lube?
Since I have 5-6 5gal buckets of .223, I would love to do 2 steps on my 650 instead of one at a time.
I was going to size on one of my RCBS rock chuckers... I was worried case lube would get all over my 650 feed parts if I tried to use that..

Thanking you in advance for any and all help..

No pics of my set up but sence I live in a small 2 bedroom apartment right now I do all my reloading in, on and around a footlocker in my bedroom that is only slightly larger than the one I had when I was in the Marines. When I am done it all gets put back into the locker and locked or into two 5-gallon buckets in the back bottom of the closet.
When I am loading I sit on the corner of the bed. I have loaded a few thousand rounds this way on a rock chucker. It's not the most comfortable way to do it but it is the only way I can do it where I live right now.

I did buy a house this weekend and should be moving mid June at the latest. Any house worming gifts would be much appriciated.

I have done extensive modifications to improve lube capacity and flow rate.

Thank you for the 411.

I'll post a pic of my old, "low budget" reloading bench. I've gone high class now though and moved it to it's own table and gotten it off my tool box drawer.
I've added some nicer reloading components to!

This worked good though...

Looking over your reloader set-ups is making my underwear feel tight.
