Can I still post here even if I only have a reloading corner?? :(  This is all I get in our house. It get's the job done though.  ;)


I'm just glad that the wife and I get along as well as we do. There's no telling what I would get if we weren't. A reloading doghouse?? :o







Thanks, Dinny

I'm another "corner" loader, no big spread for me, this is 2'x4' plus an end table and some shelves off to the side.

Those setups look completely functional!!
 
I started out with a counter in my pantry. (Back in my first place and when single.) I could close the door and no one even dreamed what was in there with the Pasta and cereal boxes, Green beans, Corn, Spam and Tuna cans.. ;)

Wow! I think that Lloyd's is the best mancave, you could actually live out there. All the other ones look good also.

Thought I'd make my first post besides my intro in this area. This is where I hang my hat most of the time since I retired.  I hope they are not too large but we shall see!!

I like your setup. the star with the dillon case feeder is cool. I have to ask though what you think of that dillon primer tube filler. I had one and it was a total pos. I love dillion stuff but i finally gave up on that &&&&&&& thing and sent it back for a refund.

I've had decent luck with the Dillon filer. I have the goodies for large and small primers. Of course they are here in town and have coached me on how to adjust it. They also said if it whipped my butt they would adjust it for me!!
 
The AA Turrets are great presses. I have used mine so much with a UNIFLO on the head that it actually has beat a groove in the cast iron over the years. I replaced an RCBS JR I started within 1975 when I got into IHMSA and needed more ammo.  Of course then I upgraded to the Dillon 300's when I went into IPSC full force.  Press acquisition has been driven by different competition needs. I even added a single stage last year after not owning one for over 30 years!! 
 
I try to choose stuff that works for me. No gear snob cooking in my brain but I do try to buy more than what will just get the job done. I focus on convenience, speed and strength. Hench the three 300's so I don't have to swap stuff out!!  ;)

Nice setup GL. Love the lava lamp. No wonder dang components are hard to come by sometimes.

Thanks. I like the lava light when I load my old school stuff like 38 Special and 45 ACP.  The Garfield phone is one of my favorite reloading area additions.  ;)
 
I buy components in large quantity when I can. Never want to have a shortage.

I don't have any pictures of my current reloading section in my unfinished basement where I currently live. I am in the process of purchasing a house. I will have a little over 1500 square feet of finished basement with great room and two bedroom size rooms plus another 600 square feet of unfinished basement that all combined will be my man cave. I am going to have one supper loading room.  ;D

Sounds fantastic. Get back to us in three years when  you are tunneling out those basement walls for more room!!  ;)
 
Don't laugh, I did about the same thing every time I moved!!

Here's my set-up.  most of this stuff was free.  It may seem like junk but it works fine and takes up little space.

If it gets the job done for you--what else is it supposed to do?  Looks good to me.
