Opinions needed on my reloading bench....

No on the carpet squares. It will eat little parts and snag everything. Rubber mat of some sort would be better. Shelving, lots of shelves.....the more the better. Keeps things organized. Parts bins(with labels on the front), things like primer pocket cleaners, case neck brushes, deburring tool, stuck case remover, nuts, bolts, screws, qtips, etc, etc, etc will end up lost or scattered all over the bench if they don't have their own little cubby hole to sit in. Good luck keeping it that organized.

A Dillon 650 added in that open spot would be nice.

Looks almost exactly like my bench except for the desk at the end. I used a double stack of surplus draft print drawers and extended the plywood top over it. I added small vice to the corner and mounted some of my potable I don't use a lot to a wood block, ie rifle case trimmer. I can store out of the way and clamp in vice when needed.

I need a better storage method for spent brass. I have everyone I know bringing it to me. All different calibers and headstamps. Hard to keep sorted. Also have to figure somewhere to mount bullet sizer.

I'm adding a vice and a grinder at the other end as well.

Under my bench is a TON of 5gal buckets and coffee cans. I have a bucket for mixed brass, then I sort it and have buckets for each caliber of dirty brass.

Then as I process it (clean, de-cap, size/prime, etc.) I put ti into different coffe cans. I like haveing lots of brass sized and primed (stored inside of course) That way when I want to load some, most of the work is done.


I always have brass in deifferent stages of the prepping process. It never ends.

I have a little small drawer system above my desk at the far right (gunsithing desk) I'm probably going to get 2-3 more for all the little parts and such.


I'm thinking on either a RCBS pro 200 or Hornady LNL AP for that open spot. Still have a RCBS Partner press to mount too. The Dillion 650 would be AWESOME but I can't drop that much $$$ right now. Plus I still need a bullet sizer and casting equiptment. And I need a turret press too.

It NEVER ends!!!!
