So I was given a press a couple years ago and intended on reloading for my .223 bolt gun, however things came up and that rifle had to go, reloading project shelved before it began. Then I got a .308 rifle, but no room to reload in an apartment, so I was using a Lee Loader setup which worked well but was slow (not to mention I had a press just sitting on my shelf...). Then last year I had the room finally to build a bench/desk but no time... However over the past week or so I finally got the rest of my gear together and my pops and I made up a reloading station.


So fresh (and hopefully not hot) off the press... and 15 rounds of .308win with 155gr Horn Amax pushed by 43gr of H4895!

Thanks go to my Wife, Father in law, Father, brother, Budget Shooter Supply, Mystic Precision and YOU! Everyone of you nutterz who has posted useful information and have put up with same stupid questions every week only to answer them again (albeit not always without humor ;) )

Perfect, nice little setup. Let's see where it is in a year, shelves added, tumbler, excess brass, etc... That is about the same size as my reloading desk and it has worked for many years.
 
Oh I already have a tumbler (being lent out at the moment as I hadn't needed it for the past 3 years lol), wet tumbling has caught my eye though. What I need is more dies for some different calibers I got. What I need is; 7.62x54r, .303 British & a complete set of .223's.


Also plenty of other shooting gear and supplies in the lockers and in closets, but we have to remember that this reloading bench in our main living room where we watch tv (though not while playing with powder or primers), so it has to be kept reasonably clean.
 
I have seen so many posts with massive reloading benches with multiple progressive presses and custom cabinetry. It's good to see people with similar size set ups to mine. Space sometimes is limited as in my case. I made it so I can swap out my presses easily so I could keep the surface size small.
 
UPDATE! Yes already I was sick of the status of my bench, so when I heard someone was taking out an old computer desk I made sure to grab a good part of it ;)
