Let's see your relaoding setup

[Mike in Oregon]

13 years ago, when we bought our house, I saw the future. The future has finally come. I'm on the tail end of finishing my reloading setup. Once done, the brass prep begins and on to load development.

Looks almost like a factory. Nice!

Mike, it appears your reloading center has attained the title of "Grail". I only wish my setup was as nice and organized as yours, but mine is a 42 year evolution of gear that's now growing into the center of the room in small stages. Sometime in the near future, I'll be unable to turn around in there with all my crap that seems to be getting thicker as the years pass. It's been moved from CA to a logging camp in BC, then to a place I had here, and now 42 years later to where I am now.

A partial look at mine during a 9mm loading session. I do all my rifle loading on my Redding single stage press and pay close attention to every step. All my handgun stuff is done on either my Dillon 550 (auto pistols), and my revolver ammo is done on an old P/W semi-progressive press, the Metal-Matic. Two years ago I sold my MEC 9000 shotshell loaders, as I just don't shoot scatterguns much any more since my bird hunting buddies have all died.



You did it up right buddy, nice 'n clean with room to grow using very nice materials and cabinets. I can see many pleasureable hours for you in there turning out quality handloads. Well done sir!

"Grail" huh? I have attached a better overall current pic. Enjoy my friend.

Thank you!

Very nice set up.

I’m sad to say, this is one of the only pictures I’ve snapped of mine and, it wasn’t even completed yet. You get a touch of an idea though.

SWEET setup!!! Take another of it in current stage. I'm still figuring out what I'm going to do over the InLine Fabrication railing....

CG....you need a safe, buddy. Is there one we can't see?

Even though it's under construction, it looks like it'll turn into a very nice handloading bench/area. I forsee you spending quite a bit of time in there...

I have one medium sized bench. I have all my presses mounted to cutting boards that I clamp to my bench depending on what I'm reloading. Quick to change out setups. Not much to look at though. Space is limited in my one car garage. The other 2 car garage is dedicated to automotive and boat maintenance. Woodworking machines have to live somewhere as well. I just need a much larger space. I live in suburbia so space is a premium.

Thank you. I’ll snap one here in the next few days. I’ve got an InLine press mount. I’ve been giving heavy consideration to getting their wall board thing and some sections of the rails as you have to compliment. Our dollar sucks so bad though, they become pretty costly items by the time a guy gets them into Canada. Very nice pieces of kit though.

InLine Fabrication is about 70 miles south of me. Dan & Jenifer are super good people, and their product is top shelf!

Well, there sort of is a safe that can’t be seen. When we built, I had the entire room constructed as legal storage. I won’t get into all the details but, essentially, the room is a safe. I wasn’t able to get the same fire rating as a safe but, pretty close. I wasn’t willing to shell out what they wanted for an actual safe door into the room. It was outrageous. I did however go with an all steel security door. Walls and ceiling are all concrete. It has its own thermostat and zone for temp through the in-floor heat. AC is also ran in and humidity is controlled via a central unit.

I put a closet in there too for storing all my camo and stuff. I wish I hadn’t done that to be honest. I could have had a U shaped wrap around bench, shelf bases and upper shelves had I not done the closet. My description will make more sense when I post a couple more current pictures. All in all, it’s a reasonably well put together pleasure room.
