    Here is my bench.

    Usually in various states of undress. Not exclusively for reloading, but there is ample room.

    Finally got off my ass and made some progress setting my stuff up. This is in a small storage room off of my patio. Basically to the point I can start loading, but still need to do some fine tuning. Probably going to add some pegboard so I can mount some bins for small stuff and hang a few tools. Also need to put a shelf underneath. Eventually the room will get A/C, a nice storage cabinet, etc.

    Here's mine. Finally got it in the house in the sun room. The only left to add is the shotgun press still out in the garage. I sure is nice to reload in the air conditioning and not have the press and accessories not rusting.

    I've made a few upgrades since this picture, I had to get rid of the the Dillon powder measures, by adapting my RCBS Uniflow powder measures with the Hornady "case activated powder drop" Looks like Dan Z. did the same thing on his Dillon. Seems the the powders I use HATE those Dillon powder measures. I may try using them with other powders in the future but for what I'm using now they are just about worthless.

    Figured it was time to ressurect this one. Since the flood i havent had a dedicated reloading area. Once the new house was squeared away i started working to correct that. Built a 9.5' x 11' room in my shop which will be dedicated to my reloading stuff. Its well insulated with a mitsubishi mini split for heating and cooling and an 11' long bench which i will be mounting my new 550 to. Im going to make some removable mounts for my single stage and turret press etc so it can be removed from the bench when not needed. Lets see everyone benchs and bring this back to life.

    I’ve been wanting to do a room like that. I have the materials and the shop space to do it. Just haven’t made the time. Seeing this is motivating. I like it.

    That's very nice. Can't wait to see it set up. When I set mine up I didn't know anything about reloading but I knew I was going to mount the presses on the wrong place so I mounted a piece of particle board to the to of an old small desk and mounted everything with bolts and wing nuts. If it totally sucked I figured I could just replace the particle board. I didn't end up having to do that.

    Forgive the mess right now but here is my workbench/reloading bench right now. My 650 is gone at the moment. Just have a Redding T-7 Turret Press and a couple of tool heads with several calibers set up.

    Great set up sksshooter. I hope to do something like this in my 30x40 shop. I like the added loft for storage space.
