Show Us Your Reloading Bench

Very nice sir! In my mind I would love to be that organized, in reality I’m doomed to making assorted piles of things that may or may not be related to each other! Lol

my daughter is finishing up her Pre vet at WTA&M then is College Station bound year after next. My son plans on starting at WT and transferring to College Station. My wife graduated from WT A&M. I have an aunt that graduated A&M College Station c/o 85 and a slew of more Aggies in the family. I am a Golden Eagle but an Aggie at heart.
 
@Frederik Badenhorst, sir, all I can say is WOW and with true honesty that is one of the best if not the best reloading room ever. The only other gun room that is a beauty too is Red Legs gun room. Congrats sir for such a fine operations.
 
@Frederik Badenhorst

RED ALERT! RED ALERT!

Looks like your Ruger No.1 is not where it's suppose to be.........

@PARA45 Thank you sir. Ironically it didn’t take much. The “gunroom” is just an awkward little closet. I just used some plywood, green felt, bit of lumber and 7/8” dowling and the ends of shotgun shells to cap them off. Voila a mini gunroom

@375 Ruger Fan Hahaha...Well done sir. I was wondered whom of our eagle eyed compadres would spot this first! That Ruger was recently traded and I have not had the chance to change over the plaques. There is actually a few that needs moving around or changing out.

I knew it was going to be one of our Engineers that spotted it!

@Hogpatrol Do you feel like your presses are too close together? I’m adding an Inline Fab riser with a quick change head to my Lyman T-Mag II and am trying to decide how close together is too close. I don’t want to be too close, but want to use as little counter space as possible for the two presses/risers.

For others with multiple presses - how close is too close?

I spaced them far enough apart to get the widest loading tray in between. Here's a photo of my spacing. Top is 3/4 plywood with aluminum base plates under all the presses. My bench is bolted to the wall so as to eliminate wobble and problems with weighing powder.

Brilliant! That’s what spacing I’ll be using when I mount my second press! Thx so much.
 
@Frederik Badenhorst, sir, I noticed that your RCBS presses & dies have some type of busying. Is that an aftermarket addition to those RCBS presses, vs. the regular screw on dies?? Thank you in advance for the info. (y)(y)
 
@BeeMaa , I think this is what your bride has in mind, as I live in an apartment, it has to be very neat...like in a closet.

Frederik, this is beyond Type A personality!! Since you are a doc, you must know what CDO is?! It’s not a dx that can be found in ICD-10 but it is the most extreme form of OCD, where the patient has to write his/her dx in an alphabetical order!! :whistle:o_O

Seriously though you have a very nice reloading and gun rooms. Just a thought...if you live in an earthquake prone area you might want to consider securing those rifles on the rack.

Regards,

@PARA45 It is the standard Hornady LNL Quick change bushings that I use for all my dies. One of the best things I have done since starting to reload. Makes life so much easier.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
