Here's mine - yes, even my wife will tell you that I am a bit on the anal side. Just getting started though, check back in a year and see how much it has grown.

It's small and simple but it serves the purpose.

Just a quick shot of my old bench before I load the rest of my stuff up. Been loading at this bench on my old Dillon 450B since the early 80's but just about to leave the Peoples Republic of Illinois and good riddance to it.
Hope to be up and running at the new house in FL in the next couple months.

[quote="Driftwood Johnson"]Howdy

Here's what my little corner of reloading heaven looks like. Those are Hornady L&L AP presses at the center of each bench. I keep one set up for large pistol primers and the other set up for small pistol primers. The one on the left has a Lyman Black Powder measure on it most of the time, but I change it out for the Hornady Smokeless measure when needed. This photo is a few years old. The RCBS lube - sizer has been replaced by a better one from Star. And there is a great big progressive MEC shotgun press on the far right now. My old Lyman Spartan single stage press only comes out now when I am loading 303 British or 45-70 with Black Powder. Most of the time it lives underneath the bench.

The only things actually bolted down to the benches are the Hornady progressive presses. Everything else is movable and clamps in place when needed.

And if you think it is always this neat, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.

Hey, DW,,,,I recognized that bench before I even saw your signature!

Nice to collide on a different forum.

Its not the size that counts, its how you use it. With my lee turret press I have been able to slam out thousands of rounds without a hitch. Your setup looks great

I reloaded for years with a portable bench made from two pieces of 3/4 plywood 3 feet long, glued together and resting on 2x2 feet.

Then I moved to the garage, but it was cold in winter. When the last kid moved out, I took over a room and built this:

I have a couple big reloading benches in my shop , but I use this portable setup 95% of the time in my living room . The leg design and press position makes it rock solid as a big bench .

This is my meager outfit. I am only loading for three cal. 38/357-45ACP-45 Colt at this time but have been loading since the early 60's and have loaded for most of them from 25-20 to 460 Weatherby and .38 to 45-70 HG. This is as clean as it gets.( I threw stuff in the closet on L. where I keep a lot of the supplies)
