Reloading Club Eastbay

[Jimboecv]

I have a question. Do any of you or do you know of any drawings for building a bench? I'm no woodworker so nothing fancy, just stout and practical. I've found a couple but I'm hoping to get it right the first time and want to consider different options.

I'm not holding my breath for USI to reopen. I may retire before USI reopens!

That's very generous of you Jessdigs! I hope I can attend. I'm still a newbie to the reloading game and would love to get more experienced voices.

I'm definitely no expert. I have loaded a lot in the short time I have been doing it, but I still have a lot to learn as well. I was shown how to cast by another club member at the last meeting at my house, and since then I have added a PID to my bottom pour lead furnace and that has really helped with consistency. I taught myself to powder coat bullets, and I like it better then liquid Alox. I have not tried tumble lubing or a lubrisizer.
The casting and powder coating makes really, really cheap ammo for plinking, and it's fun.

I bought the harbour freight workbench and it's working out great. Can't beat it for the price. I think it was a little over $100 with the coupon.

Doesn't USI sell powder or did they stop?

USI still sells, I went there 2 weeks ago and they didnt have any I wanted. I called again today and someone had an order, I asked to order some H4350 too, 8lbs and put my name down. Well see how long it takes!

I found a used dresser as my reloading bench. Actually, I started off with that and glued/screwed a 1/2" ply top to the top of the dresser and reinforced it beneath with 2x4's. All of the wood was spare wood we had lying around. Just needed to buy wood glue. It came out REALLY sturdy. Barely moves. I also used a 2x4 to anchor it into place against the wall in my garage and another supporting right below the press. It's not pretty, but my Dillon doesn't move at all. It was a fun day for the wife and I in the garage.

No powder anyone? Just looking for a pound or two. Does richmond gun club sell powder?

Not sure how much you're looking to buy but Brownells is having a one cent hazmat plus free shipping deal on orders over $150. Code is M2L.

ETA I should have said "not sure how much other stuff (primers, etc.) you want to buy"...some times I come back to my posts and I think an idiot wrote them

And we've started reloading courses and will begin more social gatherings for reloading in the moths to come. The first shotshell course wrapped up last weekend.

Seriously? Is this at USI or is this part of the Diablo club or ? I'd definitely like to attend a class or meet up or whatever it is that you all do.
