Can you have too much reloading gear ???

Is that an "Easy Rider Rifle Rack" in a package on the wall there? I havn't seen one of those in quite a while.

I can't remember what make it is, but yea, it's a pickup gun rack. I just haven't had time to put it into my truck....but I assure you....no matter what....it WILL be going in the backwindow of my pickup.....and it WILL get used :D

Its a natural consequence of owning guns....that there is no upper limit.

Yesterday I warned my wife that by them time I'm 40...there's a real possibility I will own more than 30 guns....she still hasn't responded.

If I could afford to keep up my current pace, by forty years of age, I'd be well over 50 guns :eek:
I got my first couple just before turning 28, currently sitting at 10, although 2 of them I'm just holding until my little girl is old enough for them ;) (I'll need to buy more of course, as the family grows, as well).

If I put all my stuff on shelves, It wouldn't look much different than these pictures. It would also make my wife very happy, not having stuff to trip over all over the place. I have less powder, and no casting stuff, but make up for it with other things.
 
Blacksmithden, your set-up looks pretty well organized.
My bench has 5 loading presses sitting on it along with about 60 sets of dies, miscellaneous tubs of brass,,,,I wouldn't dare post a picture of it even if I knew how !! :redface:
 
Too much loading gear?

I remember 15 years ago all my reloading stuff fit on my bench.

Now its in a full sized room, stacked floor to ceiling.

You can never have too many reloading supplies. Even though I have enough for five lifetimes, I still find myself.....buying it cheap and stacking it deep!
 
I don't see a problem.
I've done my bit in relieving you of supurfluous powder. LOL
You can't have TOO much loading stuff. IMHO
 
I'm not sure I'd post pictures of that many empty powder containers. Someone with a regulatory body that monitors the site might get the impression they are full and that you are over the legal limits without a magazine.

The plan of attack is to get 3 more sections of that shelving, and get the rest of my stuff (which you can't see in the picture) off the floor. Then, build a nice heavy 4 x 8 foot free standing bench in the middle of the room. The bench itself will have a square base with locking doors. That will be the storage for my 2 or 3 pounds of powder, 500 primers and all my empty cans and primer boxes that I've collected over the years :D

Now, as I've posted before....I just call my wife Greenpeace because of her stand on hunting, etc. The key to making the whole room work is to hang as many mounted animal heads as possible in there. That way, she won't even want to go in there...thus, she won't see the price tags on all the boxes LOL!!!!

That exactly why I keep my man cave cold and dirty. She doesn't want to spend any time there seeing what I have bought lately. The best part of gun safes, powder magazine and ammo lockers is you can hide stuff under lock that she can't see. Out of sight out of mind;)

That's awesome. When I bring something new home, I try to get it into my man cave before she sees it. If I succeed, then I know I'm safe. LOL
 
I only stated reloading this year and I went out last night and had to buy a small shelving unit to keep everything on. Now if I only had more time to get out to the range I
say I would go through a lot more
