Reloading room mega thread!

[Vice]

I still have Reloading Room number 2/Shed to post.  It is a work in progress.  All of the presses aren't mounted yet.  But I'm getting there.

And my wife says I am an addict.

I would love to show you my loading room; however if I left you in, I would have to terminate you!

Progression of my little Lee Bench

It all started with a old fish tank stand I built years ago. Tanks got moved and a little Lee bench was born to load 9mm.



Then gifts arrived. A older never used Lee kit a old shot shell loader and a CZ-52. That was a good day.



That meant the bench got a much needed update. So in went a shelf and on went a top.



Then the other press was mounted and put into use.



Things rocked along real good with this setup. Thought to myself. "How Sweet It Is"



Then more pistols were bought, more calibers are loaded and shot. I needed more on that little bench. That is when the LCT got mounted on the bench.



As the bench sets today. I have added more complete turret/caliber setups. It always stays clean and is easy to make 1st class ammo on.

Looking good!

It's a start.  It only gets worse (better) from there.  Keep on keepin' on!  Feed the beast.

I am just getting to reloading. Bought a Forster press, Dillion dies and a couple manuals. Still need media cleaner, case trimmer kit.

Not sure what you are loading, but you won't need a trimmer for 10mm in my experience.  Straight wall cases tend to shrink in my guns, not grow.  I have known one person how had straight wall brass that needed trimming.  It was 30 carbine, and I don't usually shoot his reloads having compared what he is loading to published data.

Bottleneck cartridges do grow, sometimes a bunch at first firing.

I also skipped the media for my first couple of years of loading.  I would deprime using a universal de-capping die, then I would wash it to remove dirt.  Tarnish got to stay.  About a year ago I bought a vibratory tumbler and walnut media at Harbor Freight.

I am going to be reloading 10mm, 357Sig and 45. I am new to it, read the Lyman and Speer manuals

[sqlbullet]

The 357 sig may need trimming.  10mm and 45 ACP won't.

Here is my bench... before the addition I made last year.. I took over another part of the basement and was able to get a work/cleaning bench so my loading bench was only that... A loading bench.

I don't know what to say.  Speechless actually.  When I first looked at the pic I thought I was looking at a retail outlet.   Guess I have something to shoot for (pun intended).  Just getting started myself.
