Reloading Room Pics

[Grux]

That is correct I put carpet on it. It is cheap composite wood. In fact all the corners were kinda banged up and everything. I could care less though because I knew I was going to carpet it. If it ever falls apart, I will just replace it with plywood.

Again for $85.... not bad (highly suggest L-brackets to the wall. No where near as sturdy without)

I have to complement you not only on your reloading, but also on your carpentry. I have been reloading for years and you but me to shame, you have done an outstanding job organizing and building.

Great Storage Containers for Reloading Rooms

I’m fairly new to reloading, but I’m not new to eating great ice cream! Schwans ice cream is my all-time favorite. As a dedicated ice cream consumer, I’ve gathered a sizeable collection of the plastic tubs that the wonderful dessert comes in.

I have found the gallon sized tubs and their lids to be helpful storage for brass and for in-process brass pieces. I label the bucket so I know in what stage they are in. The lids hold the brass I’m working with and keeps the pile together. A lid will easily hold 200 9mm brass casings. Having a low lip makes it easy to reach over and grab the next piece of brass destined for the press.

The ice cream also comes in 1.5 gallon containers that are great for storing the larger quantities of things. I also employ some five gallon buckets for storage, but alas, those didn’t come from Schwans.

This pic shows the buckets being used for storage under the reloading bench.

This closer picture shows how helpful the gallon buckets and lids are during reloading.

Dave - you're innovation never ceases to amaze me.

 

[wrigleycub]

Awesome! I hope to have something like any of those.

had you worded this slightly differently you could have submitted it as a Review

I use Folgers containers currently when doing my .223 brass cleaning and depriming.

After I get my area cleaned up and in working order again I'll post my pics as well.

Just spent 10 hours cleaning and reorganizing my reloading room. So tired, but worth the time. It's so nice having a clean room.

Anyone have pics of their reloading room? I'd like to see..

I am really happy to see a Disturbed poster on the peg board, thats great taste

 

[Aszerigan]

I edited the OP to show three more months of collecting and setup.

WHOA.... HOLD IT ONE DAD GUM'D SECOND!!! All that new nice stuff and you moved your beer fridge out!?! Bad choice man, reloading shop FAIL!

 

[Aszerigan]

Moved out the beer fridge? Not hardly. I got a full sized fridge and hid it just out of frame.

Lose my beer fridge??? Not a chance !!

What kind of carpet is that you covered everything with, and how did you go about fastening it? It looks really good the way you have everything nice and tight. Bill T.

 

[Aszerigan]

Bill -

The carpeting is the inexpensive stuff on the rolls at the back of Home Depot. Its $.49 sq/ft or something like that. I use 3M 'Super 77" spray adhesive to adhere it to the flat areas, then stretch, fold and staple gun it to the underside. Pretty simple, but it gives it a really clean look. I like that.

 

[billt]

Damn, it looks good! I like the cleanliness of it. Bill T.

Installed new Hornady LNL Progressive press a few weeks ago…

Walk-in closet with all the other “stuff’ needed for the job…

 

[Aszerigan]

Good looking setup, Stu. One question, what is the IV looking thing on the right side of your bench? A Dremel?

Yep, an older Dremel motor tool that is no longer made. I do some buffing on jewelry, knives, and watches with it.

I keep one close to mix cocktails after the reloading is done! I love the details on the wall mounts, very nice!

My New Version

Since there is a thread already dedicated to the "man cave" I guess I will just add to it rather than create a new one!
So, here goes!
Enter only if you qualify!

Storage Shelves:

(I think I have enough 45ACP!)
Computer in the corner:

Bench with presses. XL650 on the right, Square Deal B in the middle and a Lee Classic Cast Turret Press on the left: (Notice the manual on the bench!)

While I was organizing things, I found several empty ammo boxes. Since everything was clean and organized, I felt it my duty to "christen" it today too. I chose the load that I started it all with a couple of decades ago. 3.5gr of Bullseye under a 160gr LSWC!

Primers are in the old room. It will get cleaned up and will be my primer/bullet lubing/bullet storage area.
At any rate, Merry Christmas. All of the kids are coming over on Monday for our Christmas.
p.s. I loaded 150 of those loads on the XL650 in about a tenth of the time I did when I started loading, even with a caliber change!

You can never have enough 45acp! Go shoot say 400rds then reload 600rds thats how its done, repeat.
