    my reloading station (incomplete)

    I have these little area in the corner of a spare room, going to do my reloading there. I also have a casting and sizing area in my shop.



    debating on moving one of my singe stage press' from my stop to there. use it to deprimer rifle cases.

    When i built my house 10 yrs ago I built a reloading room. Should of made it twice as large. Wasn't casting or working on guns at the time. Now with lube sizer, vice, etc my counter space has shrunk considerable. Wish I had made it the size of my garage. Nice start there.
    Our house is protected by the Good Lord and a gun and you might meet them both if you show up here not welcome son!

    I have a work shop that has my casting, sizing and gun cleaning/work. the work shop needs to be a little larger.

    I keep all my powders in the house. I decided I wanted to reload in the house.
    excuse the clutter, since I took this pic, I added a work table that is 36 to 42inchs high. it is nice. down have to bend over much.
    far my smartloader ($5 to 10 more I could of got a lee) press near a little lee press, do use them in tandem when I am paper patching 45cal muzzleloader bullets. to the right is my casting table. I need more outlets in that area. have a work bench on the back wall. two table opposite. and a same portable table that gets use more for working working then anything else. lol

    if you mean as in brass, there is another area down the left side of the wall. as for what I reload, I only do 3 calibers. so storing them will not be a problem. I have not finished setting it up fully so I have not moved what is on the shelf right above the press.

    my work shop is a lot cleaner then it was in that pic. still needs some organization but that is nothing new.

    I strongly be leave, that is enough room.

    Corey, I built me a shop out in my garage 2 yrs ago. It was a 16'x9'. I have 29' of work bench and 16' of shelves, plus roll out shelves under the benches. My father kept telling me...not big enough, as we built the benches. I kept saying and thinking, all this room, I've got plenty of space.
    Well 6 mo after completion, I'm out of room and now store stuff in the garage. It's all reloading and casting stuff in my shop too, nothing else.
    I'm hoping to add another 7'x14' add on to my shop, but I think about it and maybe its better i just add onto the garage. Either /or I have a feeling it'll never be enough room.

    Good work, everybody needs a dedicated loading area! BTW, what's that black attachment to your turret press? Can't tell from the pic, but is it an attachment to the handle?

    see there is the auto indexing and the ergo handle. from how the pic looks, there is a black brass door handle right under the press.

    Dream on hoss. The longer you stay in shooting and reloading, the more stuff you need. The more stuff you buy, the more room you need. It like a stump tailed dog chasing his tail. He'll never catch up but he can't stop either, when he's so close. Just enjoy and expand as you need and the rest will take care of itself. Take care and enjoy life, its short enough anyway. james
