Hillbilly Drifter Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Winter here is the time when I do most of my reloading. Too cold and wet outside, range closes for 3 moths. I have one room in my house dedicated to reloading and gun maintenance. Bored this morning so took a few pics to share. Feel free to add pics of your loading areas if you like. I have a Dillon 550 but it is mothballed for now. I do everything on the RCBS shown. Stocking up on 45 colt, 44-40, 38-55, 45-70, 44mag, 308 win, 223 rem. Others as needed.

Smoky Pistols Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Wow, wow, WOW! That is a truly nice set-up, HD! What's the manufacturer and make of that brass spinner? I'm looking to replace the round blue ball and bucket model I'm using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I would recommend adding at least 1 or 2, 15lb ABC fire extinguishers. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 OK You are both a little too organized for my abilities. No not quite true, I just have a LOT more little stuff involved. I plan to add more shelf spaceand give my other hobby stuff a different space.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Carpet in a reloading room is not a good idea. You want to be able to 'mop' the floor for spilled powder etc. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Duncan Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I started with a repurposed countertop on a 2x4 frame. Add wall shelves, sink (wet tumbling), shelving unit and under counter storage for ammo boxes. I'm happy if I can see some countertop. Scrap piece of carpet to keep my feet warm.

Assassin Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 My vacuum finds them. Concrete is way too cold and hard to stand on for hours. I also have a thick anti static rubber mat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Some interlocking rubber or foam floor tiles might make it easier to find or pick up stuff that may be dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the duds are the live ones that bounced on the concrete floor or not. My policy now is if a primer makes to the floor it gets scrapped.

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Wow, there are some very nice set-ups shown above. Between my reloading stuff and my leather working stuff, my room is packed and not as neatly organized. One observation (not a criticism), the OP room showed brass tumbling stuff. I too tumbled in the house until a close fellow shooter, who also tumbled indoors, showed very high lead levels during a yearly physical. Both of us have moved our tumblers to the garage and I've invested in a wet tumbler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geronimo Jim SASS # 21775 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Hillbilly..................you are a sick man. Didn't think it was possible to have a reloading room that neat. Seriously ........I'm envious. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I'm not showing my reloading area(s). It's more of an archeological expedition to get to stuff I need to load next. We have Dillon 450 and 550b set up on one 8' work bench. I have a couple of small C presses that I clamp down when and where needed. We have a MEC 600 10 and 12 gauge setting on a crafts table. Several sets of shelves filled with ammo and components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Wheeler Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I have three work benches in my workshop, one of which is pretty much dedicated to reloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 them be way too neat and tidy I gotta push stuff out of the way to get into shop , then dig to get to the presses shop heated in the summer and cooled in the winter , some how that seems backward ?
