I've been reloading since I was 16.  Started on my dad's rotary press, then saved up and bought a Dillon 550B.  I built a travel bench around that press (you can see it in the photos), that folds up on itself for transport.  I've used this setup for 18 years.

I've recently bought a Hornady LNL AP, so I had to make another bench for it, found one at Sams and installed aluminum T-slot rails in the top.

I installed some new cabinets over my reloading bench today, also installed small can lights under the cabinets.  Still have to do a lot of reorganizing and filling that pegboard up.

I cast for everything I shoot except .224" stuff, so I have a large assortment of molds and assorted other parts.  Trying to get everything more organized.




A few of my reloads.  These are my range loads.  I have about 10 large ammo boxes filled with other calibers that I don't shoot as often.  




About 40 lbs. of powder in the bottom drawer.  I have more in storage, as well as a few primers.



Sorry for the mess, like I said, I am reorganizing.

What brand of press is that turret on the left?  The one with the Lee Bulge Buster on top?

You may want to put those pics in this thread, the reloading bench thread.




My bench is on pg 6.

Nice set up.

Except you need to clean up where the dust mask's, and Eastwing hammer is.

Yep, when you have a small area to work in it's almost mandatory that you keep things cleaned up.  Even though my 'bench' is only 6' x 2', I've run north of 170,000rds of handloads on it and everything works just great.

It's a Lyman Turret Press.  I think it was made in the mid to late '60's.

Thanks for the heads up, I cleared out the inbox.

Yeah, I have more organizing to do.  That is a big stack of hardwood flooring.  Besides sorting out my loading room, I am installing hardwood floors and finishing out an unbuilt basement.  So, there is a lot of tools/parts stacked everywhere.

Your bench looks nice and organized.  Organization has always been something I've struggled with.  I have a large shop with a large amount of tools, but it seems I'm always spending more time looking for the right tool than it takes to do the actual project   Something I definitely need to work on.

I hear ya about looking for tool's. There's been so many time's I know I have the right tool, but sure can't find it. Then I have to go buy one, just to find the original latter.
